Problem

Currently, Esc Esc can only undo the last message and must be used immediately. Once you've moved several messages forward and realize the code changes went in the wrong direction, there's no built-in way to roll back multiple steps of file changes without manually using git.

Proposal

Add a built-in /revert skill that:

  1. Runs git status to show all current file changes made during the session
  2. Lets the user review what was changed
  3. Reverts the code changes (via git) while preserving the conversation history

Use Cases

  • You've had a multi-turn conversation and Claude made several file edits, but the overall direction was wrong
  • You want to keep the conversation context but undo the code changes
  • Esc Esc is too limited (only last message, must be used immediately)

Comparison with Esc Esc

Current Workaround

Users can implement this as a custom skill, but it would be more useful as a built-in feature accessible to all users.
