/fresh-eyes — break the local minimum
When a session has accumulated too many assumptions, fresh eyes beat tired eyes. Context exhaustion can feel like convergence.
Prerequisite
Start a new Claude Code or Codex session. Don't just /clear.
Two-step prompt
Send, in order, the two prompts at
.flywheel/prompts/fresh-eyes.md:
- First, a deep context load (AGENTS.md + CLAUDE.md + FLYWHEEL.md + README.md + code investigation).
- Then, a review of
.beads/beads.jsonlagainst.flywheel/plans/<PLAN>.md.
When this operator pays off most
- Bead polishing flatlined after 3–4 rounds.
- Deep code review keeps finding the same class of bug.
- A major architectural decision feels locked in but nobody remembers justifying it.
After
If the fresh session finds new issues → back to /polish-beads.
If it comes back clean → you're genuinely at convergence. Proceed.
