It deletedthe wrong files.

A cleanup took something you needed. Here is how to recover, and how to make it harder to happen again.

What goes wrong

Cleanup is confidentAsked to tidy, an AI removes what looks unused. It cannot know a file is needed by something it did not read.

Uncommitted work has no netIf the file was never committed, git has nothing to restore. The loss may be total.

// what adams does

Holds risky git commandsLite: hard resets, forced pushes and cleans that discard work are held until you say yes.

Restores only the AI changesPro: assist undo lists what the AI changed and puts back those files, leaving your own edits.

Shows before it removesPro: anything that removes files or changes history asks first.

// worked example

Illustrative output.

~/project~/your-project · example

$ adams assist undo

Changed by the AI: 4 files

Removed: format.ts, dates.ts

Lists only. Nothing is changed until you confirm

Lite is free. Pro adds this and the rest of the quality layer.

// faq

Can I get back a file never committed?

Not from git. Look in your editor local history or trash. Commit early to avoid this.

What should I do right now?

Stop the AI, run git status and git log, and check your editor history before anything else changes.

What is free?

The git guards. The undo is Pro.
