Stretch Break

Stretch Break

Trigger on "stretch break", "movement break", "need a break", "ストレッチ 休憩", "体を伸ばしたい". Distinct from workout (full exercise session) and focus-mode (stay sitting, work): stretch-break is a 5-minute standing micro-routine that doesn't interrupt the rest of the day.

Default flow

1. Brief kickoff: speak "Standing for five minutes. Ready?" at volume 40 — loud enough to hear from across the room in case the user stepped away from the desk.

2. Set a 5-minute backstop timer via set_timer with { seconds: 300, label: "stretch" } so the user isn't locked into the routine if they get interrupted.

3. Lights: raise to 70 % if they were below 50 % — the user probably needs to see where they're going. Don't change colour temp.

4. Pause media via execute_command action:"media_pause" on any active media_player. Cooking audiobook / meeting audio can resume after.

5. Guidance: the agent calls out each stretch for ~45 s each:

   • 0:00 — neck rolls, shoulders
   • 0:45 — reach overhead + side bends
   • 1:30 — hip circles / standing pigeon
   • 2:15 — calf stretch, hamstring reach
   • 3:00 — chest opener + deep breath
   • 3:45 — walk around the room, shake it out
   • 4:30 — final deep breath, return to desk

   Speak each cue at volume 40, one sentence, gentle imperative. Between cues, silence. Don't play music — user needs to hear the next cue.

At end-of-timer

Timer fires, agent says: "Back to it." Volume restores to user's prior setting (remember it at step 1, restore on end).

Interrupt handling

If the user says "enough" / "done" / "もうやめる" mid-session:

1. cancel_all_timers scoped to the stretch session.
2. Speak briefly: "Okay." — no judgement.
3. Restore lights + volume as above.

Multi-room

Do NOT broadcast this to other rooms. Stretch breaks are individual. If a household wants synchronised breaks they'd explicitly ask, and that would be a follow-up broadcast_tts on the user's part — we don't autoscale.

Style

• Tone: calm gym-class instructor, not cheerleader.
• JA: polite-casual ("〜してください" not "〜して").
• Don't count reps — count breaths.
