reload-contextlisted

Re-read and re-anchor to all loaded skills and active instructions. Use when the user types /reload-context or /brainwash, or says things like "start fresh", "forget what you think you know", "re-read the rules", "you're drifting", "you stopped following the instructions", "go back to basics", or "reset". Also trigger proactively if you notice yourself improvising around a loaded skill's instructions rather than following them — that's the drift this skill is designed to fix.

# reload-context Long conversations cause harness drift. You loaded a skill twenty turns ago and now you're winging it. This skill fixes that. The research is clear: adherence to loaded instructions decays over trajectories. Strong models drift less; all models drift some. This is the manual override. --- ## Step 1: Identify what's loaded List every skill, instruction, or rule that is currently active in this session: - Skills explicitly loaded or invoked - Any CLAUDE.md instructions in scope - Project-specific conventions established earlier in this conversation - Any explicit rules the user stated ("always do X", "never do Y") --- ## Step 2: Re-read each one Don't summarize from memory. Actually re-read each skill file or instruction set. If a skill file path is known, use Read to load the current content — it may have been updated since you first saw it. --- ## Step 3: State what you're now following Write a short, explicit list of the active constraints and procedures: ``` reloaded. currently following: - [skill-name]: [the key procedure in one line] - [rule from user]: [the rule] - [project convention]: [the convention] ``` This makes the reload visible and auditable. The user can correct anything that's wrong or missing. --- ## Step 4: Commit to the fallbacks For any procedural skill that has fallback steps: explicitly acknowledge them. "If step A fails, I will try step B before giving up" — not just "I will follow the skill." The most common failure mo
