ihabkhaled Attention Reset
Core principle
Freeze, recall the goal, close irrelevant branches, choose the highest-value remaining action, and resume without making the reset another loop.
Procedure
- Freeze new searches and edits.
- Restate objective, completed requirements, remaining requirements, and actual blocker.
- Classify the current branch.
- Park optional or unrelated branches with evidence.
- Reduce active work to one required item.
- Resume the shortest evidence-producing action.
Required output
One-line goal, branch classification, parked findings, and one resumed action.
Limits
Keep the reset concise; WIP returns to 1.
Common mistakes
Do not open more context during reset or regenerate the whole plan.
Stop condition
Stop when one objective, one active item, and one direct next action remain.
