pomodoro

name	pomodoro
description	Classic 25/5 pomodoro cycle — strict 25-minute work blocks, 5-minute rests, and a longer 15-minute rest every fourth cycle.

Pomodoro

Trigger on "pomodoro", "start pomodoro", "25 minute timer", "pomodoro mode", "ポモドーロ". Distinct from focus-mode (an open-ended deep-work session with lights and volume tweaks) and stretch-break (a 5-minute standing micro-routine): pomodoro is a strict cadence of 25-minute work blocks and 5-minute sit-rests, with a longer 15-minute rest after every fourth work block. No stretching, no lights, no media changes — just timers and cues.

Default flow on activation

1. One-sentence confirmation at the user's current volume — do not bump volume on activation. Say "Pomodoro on. First 25 minutes starting now." (JA: 「ポモドーロ開始。まず25分です。」)
2. Start the work timer via set_timer with { seconds: 1500, label: "pomodoro-work" }. The label scopes the session so we can cancel it without touching cooking / laundry timers.
3. Track the cycle count internally. The first work block is cycle 1. After the fourth work block ends, the following break is a long 15-minute break; the cycle counter then resets to 1.
4. Do not broadcast. Pomodoro is an individual focus practice — other speakers should stay silent. Explicitly avoid broadcast_tts, broadcast_timer, broadcast_announcement.

When the work timer fires

1. Check quiet-hours first. If quiet-hours is active, suppress the voice cue — do not speak, do not bump volume. Still advance the cycle and schedule the break timer silently; the user opted into quiet hours, and pomodoro cues must not wake the room.
2. One calm cue, at the user's current volume:
   • EN: "Work block done. Five-minute break." (or on cycle 4: "Fourth block done. Take fifteen.")
   • JA: 「作業終了。5分休みましょう。」 (cycle 4: 「4セット目終了。15分休みましょう。」)
3. Schedule the break via set_timer:
   • Cycles 1–3: { seconds: 300, label: "pomodoro-break" }.
   • Cycle 4: { seconds: 900, label: "pomodoro-long-break" }.

When the break timer fires

1. Check quiet-hours. If active, suppress the voice cue and schedule the next work timer silently.
2. One calm cue, at the user's current volume:
   • EN: "Break over. Back to work — 25 minutes."
   • JA: 「休憩終了。次の25分です。」
3. Schedule the next work block via set_timer with { seconds: 1500, label: "pomodoro-work" }. On the cycle after a long break, reset the cycle counter to 1.

While active

• Sit-rest only — pomodoro breaks are for resting the head, not moving. Do not suggest stretches; that's stretch-break's job.
• Do not narrate the remaining time mid-block. The user is working; silence is the feature.
• If the user asks "how many left?" / 「あと何セット？」, answer in one short sentence with the current cycle number.
• If the user says "skip break" / 「休憩スキップ」, cancel the pending break timer and start the next work block immediately.

End-of-session

Trigger on "stop pomodoro", "pomodoro off", "ポモドーロ終了", "もう終わり":

1. cancel_all_timers scoped to the pomodoro labels (pomodoro-work, pomodoro-break, pomodoro-long-break) only. Do NOT cancel unrelated timers — cooking and laundry timers must survive.
2. One short sign-off: "Pomodoro done." (JA: 「ポモドーロ終了。」)

Interaction with quiet-hours

If the user enables quiet-hours mid-session, do not auto-cancel the pomodoro. The per-fire check above handles the suppression. When quiet-hours ends, the next scheduled cue fires normally — no catch-up for missed cues.

Multi-room

Do NOT broadcast. Pomodoro is individual. If the user has multiple tablets running, each one tracks its own session.

Volume

Use set_volume only if the user explicitly asks for a quieter or louder cue ("pomodoro quieter", 「ポモドーロ音量下げて」). Never auto-adjust volume on activation or between cycles.

Style

• Tone: calm focus-keeper. No cheerleading, no exclamation marks, no "you've got this" phrasing.
• Keep each cue ≤ 8 words in EN, ≤ 20 characters in JA.
• JA register: polite-casual ("〜しましょう" is fine).
• Never use emoji in TTS text.

Tools used

• set_timer
• cancel_all_timers
• set_volume (only on explicit user request)

Tools explicitly avoided

• broadcast_tts, broadcast_timer, broadcast_announcement — pomodoro is personal, no fan-out
