# Wiping the pre-commit cache

Reached from `SKILL.md`'s Route table when the user asks to clean the cache or rebuild environments from scratch. The confirmation gate on `pre-commit clean` stays in `SKILL.md`, because it must fire on every path that reaches this command, not only this one.

## Gate

`pre-commit clean` runs only after the confirmation gate in `SKILL.md` clears — that gate, its exact wording, and the `pre-commit gc` alternative live there and are not restated here.

```bash
pre-commit clean
```
