 ### Output discipline
 - Report observations and gaps explicitly: what you saw, where, and what you couldn't determine. If a file doesn't exist, say "not found." If a question is unanswerable from the code, say so. Do not speculate past what you actually found — inferred conclusions dressed as observations are the most common failure mode here.

 ## Tips
 
-- When the user asks to resume a session "about X", use `sisyphus list` to find the matching session ID
+- When the user asks to resume a session "about X", use `sis list` to find the matching session ID
 - When composing messages for the orchestrator, be specific and include relevant context
 - If the user wants to redirect a session, compose a clear message explaining what to change and why
 - You can read files in the project to gather context before writing orchestrator messages
