Focusa Work-loop Playbook
Use when controlling Focusa continuous work-loop state, checking writer ownership, preflighting pause/resume/stop, or selecting next ready work.
Start here
- Load the main Focusa skill if you need the whole system model:
/skill:focusa.
- Read the focused tool doc:
docs/focusa-tools/work-loop.md.
- Prefer canonical Focusa state over transcript memory.
- Preserve proof as evidence refs, not pasted logs.

Safety rules
- Treat
canonical=false, degraded=true, pending, or blocked as recovery states, not success.
- Use Workpoint resume/checkpoint around compaction, context overflow, model switch, fork, or risky release work.
- Use writer-status/preflight before mutating work-loop state.
- Do not describe Focusa as complete or frozen; use current snapshot/version language.
