Eye Break

Trigger on "eye break", "20-20-20", "rest my eyes", "目を休めて", "画面疲れ". Distinct from stretch-break (body movement), hydration-reminder (water intake), and focus-mode (stay on task): eye-break is a passive recurring cue that fires every 20 minutes while the user is at a screen and does not interrupt work.

Default flow on activation

1. Brief confirmation: speak "Eye-break timer on. I'll nudge you every 20 minutes." at the user's current volume.
2. Set a recurring 20-minute backstop via repeated set_timer with { seconds: 1200, label: "eye-break" }. On each fire, re-schedule the next iteration unless the user has ended the session.
3. Don't dim lights — looking into a dim room defeats the point.
4. Don't pause media — this is passive.

On each timer fire

Speak one calm sentence:

• "Look away for twenty seconds — something at least twenty feet off."
• JA: "目を少し休めてください。遠くを二十秒ほど見てみましょう。"

Then silence. Don't narrate during the 20 seconds — that defeats the eye-rest. After the pause, re-set the next 20-minute timer.

End-of-session

Trigger on "eye break off", "stop reminding", "目休めオフ":

1. cancel_all_timers scoped to eye-break labels only. Do NOT cancel every timer — cooking / workout timers must survive.
2. Speak briefly: "Eye-break off."

Quiet-hours interaction

If quiet-hours is active: suppress the reminder entirely. Don't whisper, don't re-schedule — wait until quiet-hours ends, then resume on the next 20-minute boundary. This skill is background polish; it must never wake a sleeping household.

Multi-room

Do NOT broadcast. Eye-break is personal. If the user has multiple tablets running, each one tracks its own session.

Style

• Tone: gentle reminder, never urgent.
• JA: polite-casual ("〜してください").
• Keep cues under 10 words — long reminders defeat the rest.
