+# Reset the demo state
+
+Use this helper to clean up the repository after you have finished a walkthrough or want to start over with a fresh set of practice issues and pull requests.
+
+## What it preserves
+
+The script preserves the four seeded exercise issues from [`seed-issues.md`](seed-issues.md) by matching their titles exactly. Everything else is treated as demo clutter and reset.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- GitHub CLI installed and authenticated (`gh auth login`)
+- Run the command from the repository you want to reset
+
+## Preview the changes
+
+```bash
+node scripts/reset-demo.mjs
+```
+
+The script runs in dry-run mode by default and prints the issues and pull requests it would close or delete.
+
+## Apply the reset
+
+```bash
+node scripts/reset-demo.mjs --apply
+```
+
+This will:
+
+- preserve the seeded exercise issues
+- close any extra issues that are still open
+- delete extra issues
+- close any extra pull requests that are still open
+- delete extra pull requests
+
+> The reset is destructive for extra issues and pull requests. Review the dry-run output carefully before using `--apply`.
