mvschwarz Refocusing
Refocus preserves a long session's earned expertise while re-grounding it in current intent and lived context. It is not a restart, wake, or phase checkpoint.
Run the bundled trace from this skill directory instead of reconstructing the hierarchy from memory:
python3 scripts/trace-to-root.py --trees both --depth light
Use --trees topology|work|both to select context domains and --depth light|full to control how
much each node contributes. Light work traces compose intent: and name notes; full traces include
the complete node and notes bodies. The script resolves topology.root and workspace.root with
rig config get. When a current node cannot be derived, set OPENRIG_REFOCUS_TOPOLOGY_NODE or
OPENRIG_REFOCUS_WORK_NODE, or pass the matching --*-start option.
Read references/refocus.md when changing the automatic hook or its content ladder. A missing chain file is evidence: report the gap and continue; never follow pointers to invent a second parent.
