Mark context-rot symptoms
These are reasons to split/reset instead of asking the same thread to “just finish.”
Nightly Vibe · AI coding control room
For solo operators directing coding agents: choose the mission, mark context-rot symptoms, attach the evidence packet, and copy a lane plan that a fresh agent or human can execute without rereading the whole saga.
One sentence is enough. The tool turns it into a handoff contract.
These are reasons to split/reset instead of asking the same thread to “just finish.”
Constraints prevent the next prompt from becoming another unbounded heroic run.
Fresh agents need receipts, not lore. Select only evidence you can actually paste or attach.

CONTEXT BUDGET SPLITTER Verdict: SPLIT INTO LANES Mission: Feature build Brief: Ship the next user-visible slice without letting the agent bury risk in a giant diff. Overload: 80/100 · evidence coverage 58/100 · recommended lanes 3 Default lane model: Builder → Reviewer → Finisher Success line: A user-visible slice ships with tests or a local smoke proof. Symptoms to repair: - Review overload: Split cosmetic, plumbing, and behavior changes into separate commits. - False done: Require command output, screenshot, or fixture before summarizing success. - Missed defects: Demand a review map: files changed, risk per file, and proof per claim. Operating rules: - Cap the next run to one sharp outcome and one verification command. - Write a handoff packet before doing more implementation. Evidence packet to include: - Original ask / acceptance criteria: Paste the exact user requirement and the non-goals. - Current diff + touched files: Include git status, key files, and what each file is supposed to prove. - Build/test output: Attach the latest passing/failing command output; mark pre-existing failures. Split plan: - Lane A: reproduce/inventory the current state without editing. - Lane B: implement only the narrowest fix or slice. - Lane C: review proof, merge risk, and handoff gaps. Next prompt: You are taking over this task. First restate the success line, inspect only the evidence packet above, then execute the assigned lane. Stop and report if the lane needs context outside the packet.
