SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When a long conversation makes your context window heavy or unwieldy, this Skill helps you reset by preserving only the critical state needed to continue effectively.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Write a structured session handoff: Records task UUID, outcomes, decisions (including why), current state, and next steps into your diary so the restarted session can pick up without backtracking.
  • Restart with fresh context: Executes a single command to hand off, stop the current session, and restart so you regain headroom while retaining important continuity.
  • Works across manager, worker, and reviewer flows: Integrates with TTal’s context injection so the restored briefing is rendered into the correct role template.

Quick Start

Run the breathe flow by sending your handoff to the diary with the task details, then execute the command ttal breathe.
