# Anti Damage

Turn the next hostile hit into a counterstroke.

## Overview

Use Anti Damage when the cleanest move is to convert incoming pressure into a reactive counter instead of tanking it.

This is the secondary Codex compatibility rendering of a hybrid battle-chip pattern with a shipping-now execution model.

Canonical chip family: Anti Damage
Codex shelf: Traps and Obstacles
Provider target: Codex compatibility surface.

## When To Use

- A predictable attack or failure mode is coming.
- You want the next hit to trigger a response automatically.
- Absorption alone is too passive.

## Workflow

1. Name the incoming event worth countering.
2. Prepare a single automatic response to that hit.
3. Verify the counter only fires on the intended trigger.

## Deliverables

- A counter-trigger or reactive safeguard.
- A note describing the exact trigger and response.

## Guardrails

- Reactive systems must be narrower than proactive ones.
- Do not use Anti Damage for ambiguous or high-noise inputs.

## Default Invocation

Use Anti Damage to define one reactive counter for the next predictable hit, keeping the trigger narrow and the response proportionate.
