What problem does it solve?
This Skill solves the problem of services becoming too entangled or corrupted to fix reliably, by performing a controlled teardown and fresh rebuild while preserving critical data and interfaces.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Preserve data and configuration: Backs up databases, configs, and state before any teardown, and keeps rollback-ready old versions until the new build is validated.
- Preserve interfaces and integrations: Maintains the same API contracts, URLs, webhooks, and MCP tool interfaces so downstream clients keep working.
- Parallel rebuild with verification gates: Uses parallel agent waves to rebuild components, then runs acceptance tests and integration checks before cutover.
Use case example: A production service repeatedly fails due to escalating tech debt and config corruption; use nuke to back up state, rebuild the service architecture, migrate the existing data, redeploy, and verify everything before switching traffic.
