Resume and reset

Resume pending workCopy Anchor Link

Run /sheriff:run or $sheriff-run again to resume pending work, with saved handoffs taking priority within dependency order. Passing, failed, and review items are not automatically retried on an ordinary resume.

Retry a phaseCopy Anchor Link

To retry failed or review items in an existing phase, use the phase number:

/sheriff:run --phase 1

$sheriff-run --phase 1

Replace 1 with the phase number. Passing work is preserved.

Start a new planCopy Anchor Link

Use /sheriff:run --from-scratch or $sheriff-run --from-scratch to archive the old plan and evidence and rebuild discovery. Configuration and existing tests are kept.

Reset discoveryCopy Anchor Link

/sheriff:reset --discovery-only

$sheriff reset --discovery-only

This archives maps, plans, results, reports, and handoffs for rebuilding on the next run. It preserves configuration and existing tests.

Full resetCopy Anchor Link

A reset with no flag, or with --full, deletes the entire .sheriff/ directory, including configuration and archives.

Source and test files outside .sheriff/ are preserved. Reset refuses to proceed while workers are active.
