Coffee Break
Park work, print resume instructions. Heaviness check first — if memory consolidation is pending, route to /reflect.
1. Heaviness check (route to /reflect if any fires)

feedback_*.mdorproject_*.mdin~/.claude/projects/<slug>/memory/with mtime >$SESSION_DIRdirectory mtime (≈ session-start on CC; on Codex, skip this signal with logged reasonno $SESSION_DIR) ai-workspace/MEMORY.mdmodified in-branch (git statusnon-empty OR commits since fork)- If unsure, ask user: is the branch task complete or paused? If complete, fire.
Any fire → use /reflect
2. Park
0. Note what team position you are in, if any (e.g. swe1, architect, tmp) 1. Refresh .branch-context.md (Finished / Open / Next action / Resumes as) 2. Commit if changed (skip silently if no-commit-primary-worktree.sh blocks — surface the block to user) 3. Push if ahead of upstream
3. Respond
