-Resolve the installed plugin root to an absolute `$NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT` — `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}`
-on Claude Code, `$PLUGIN_ROOT` on Codex when set, otherwise the absolute path this skill was

-`"$NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT/runtime/ns"` — native Windows: `& "$NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT\runtime\windows\ns.ps1"`
-in the PowerShell tool, same verbs — which resolves the host and the workspace; `ns help` lists the
-verbs, and `ns bind` prints the six resolved facts (`TASK_ROOT`, `NIGHTSHIFT_WORKSPACE`, `NS`,
-`NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT`, `HOST`, `SOURCE`); `$NS` below is that `NS`. Never a bare relative path: the working
-directory persists between calls. Each `$NS/...` path below is where the current layout keeps that file;
-`ns path <key>` prints where this workspace keeps it, and `ns path --list` names every key.
-
-Print the exact canonical `$NS` path. Warn that punch lists, rules, receipts, archives, and history
-will be lost, and that the plugin itself stays installed. Do not run the helper until the owner
-confirms that exact path. Then:
-
-```bash
-"$NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT/runtime/ns" purge-workspace \
-  --confirm-path "$NS"
-```
-
-The helper first performs Reset, then deletes only that validated `.nightshift/` directory and a
-local `.nightshift-link` on the opened task root when present. It refuses symlinks, malformed
-links, workspace roots, home directories, `/`, and other broad paths. It never deletes repository
-files outside that Nightshift state. A second Purge with the same confirmation is safe.
-
-If the task root is linked, pass the folder you opened as `--project "$TASK_ROOT"`. This is the
-one command whose target is the task root rather than the workspace, so it is the one place the
-dispatcher's answer is not the one you want: purging only the workspace path leaves the host link
-in place.
+Read the [workflow](../nightshift/references/workflow.md). Identify the absolute project state
+path and inspect it without following symlinks. This skill deletes state, not the plugin or project
+files. If the owner has not explicitly authorized deletion of that exact path, show what would
+be lost and ask for confirmation. Prior explicit authorization for the same target is sufficient.
+Refuse deletion if the state belongs to another installation, has an active session, contains
+symlinks, or the path cannot be confined to the chosen project's `.nightshift/`. Once authorized
+and inactive, delete only that directory using the available file tools, then verify the target
+is gone and the project remains. With no file access, explain that no deletion occurred.
