steerlisted

Keep a human in the loop on a running task through a Comment.io comm. Poll the task comm for new @mentions and replies, fold human steering into the work mid-flight, and escalate by @mentioning a human and waiting when a decision shouldn't be made alone. Use during any long-running or autonomous task that has a worklog comm. Trigger when asked to "listen for steering", "check for comments", "escalate to a human", or whenever you need a human decision before continuing. Works identically under Codex and Claude Code.

# steer — the human-in-the-loop control plane `steer` makes a Comment.io comm the place humans steer running agents and agents ask for help — no out-of-band chat thread. It is a **primitive**: `comment-feature` / `comment-bug` call it; use it standalone whenever autonomous work needs a human checkpoint. `steer` polls at material checkpoints: before an irreversible/materially ambiguous decision, after a long autonomous stretch, and at a delivery boundary. A bookkeeping phase is not automatically a checkpoint. Push wake can resume the session only when the caller armed it through `comment-identity` or a daemon-backed workflow. **Identity.** `steer` writes as the active task identity. If the task was opened by `comment-feature`, `comment-bug`, `worklog`, or `drive-plan`, keep using that route's identity or supplied comm token for replies and escalations. If `steer` is used standalone, choose the first working Comment.io route; invoke `comment-identity` only immediately before an uncredentialed direct-REST write. Do not switch to an ambient registered profile or Botlets bot profile mid-task. ## Two motions ### 1. Listen — fold steering in At material checkpoints, use the active route's native comment, notification, or read capability to check the task comm for human comments and @mentions newer than the last state you saw. Do not poll merely because a plan phase ended. For direct REST only, use the mention/notification and since-revision filters documented in `$BASE/llms/re
