Can I reset to a phase further ahead than my current one?

No, the skill validates your current progress. If you attempt to reset to a phase you haven't reached yet, it will notify you that a reset is unnecessary.

Will I lose my work if I use the reset skill?

No, the skill automatically moves all files from later phases into a dated archive folder within the output directory, allowing you to restore them manually if needed.

What happens to the project's progress tracking?

The skill automatically updates your progress.json file to reflect the new active phase, ensuring that subsequent commands like '/next' function correctly from the new starting point.

How do I trigger a reset to a specific phase?

You can use the command followed by a phase number, for example '/reset 2' to return to the outlining stage, or just type '/reset' to see a list of available phases.

Resets scientific writing projects to specific milestones while automatically archiving data and maintaining workflow integrity.

The Project Phase Reset skill is a core component of the scientific-writing framework for Claude Code, designed to help researchers and students navigate the non-linear process of academic writing. It allows users to safely revert their project state to any previous phase—from brainstorming and outlining to chapter planning—while ensuring that no work is permanently lost. By automating the archival of current drafts and updating internal progress trackers, this skill enables seamless iteration on complex documents like seminar papers and dissertations without the risk of manual file management errors.
