This Skill prevents vague or drifting tasks from turning into wasted effort by anchoring what the user wants, what success looks like, and when the work should pause for re-alignment.
Ask the AI to anchor the current task by stating the outcome you want and whether this is an independent task or part of a larger effort.

To prevent task drift on vague requests, you anchor user intent and establish a session contract with a defined horizon and done state before execution begins. This stops silent scope expansion by checking progress against the original goal.
A session contract is a minimal agreement defining the task horizon, done state, and drift signals. It ensures task alignment by providing a baseline to check progress against, preventing wasted effort on unstable or multi-stage outcomes.
To re-align a workstream when a feature feels off track, you perform lightweight re-anchoring to generate a fresh session contract. This redefines the desired outcome and drift signals before continuing execution.
You do not need a session contract for every specific task. Intent anchoring targets vague requests, re-alignment moments, and multi-stage tasks, avoiding unnecessary background questions when the desired outcome is already stable and clear.
Drift signals are predefined indicators in a session contract that highlight when work silently expands beyond the original goal. You check them against the done state during multi-stage development to catch scope expansion early.
