Effort mode: NORMAL

Clear Expert and Heavy skill policies.

On activation

1. State clearly: Effort mode: NORMAL. Expert/Heavy policy overlays cleared.
2. Resume default Grok Build behavior for this conversation:
   • No Expert/Heavy multi-agent gates or team size targets from those skills
   • No requirement to fan out specialists
   • Normal single-agent (or ad-hoc subagent) judgment
3. Do not change the user’s permission mode, Plan mode, or model unless they ask.
4. If they had a pending task in the same message after /normal, handle it with default behavior.

Mid-flight clear (Expert/Heavy team in progress)

If /normal arrives while an Expert/Heavy fixed team is still running, incomplete, or mid-join:

1. Mode off first — stop applying Expert/Heavy policy immediately (no fixed-N fill/replace, no contrarian repair, no “must reach N successes”).
2. Cancel running specialists (best-effort) — for every known running effort-mode task ID, call kill_command_or_subagent (or session equivalent). Prefer kill-all from the current ledger. If kill is unavailable, say so; do not keep joining to finish the team.
3. Abandon the incomplete team — no replacements, no waves to 4/12, cancelled ≠ success, do not claim Expert/Heavy completion.
4. State partial counts — e.g.
   Effort mode: NORMAL. Abandoned in-flight <Expert|Heavy> team: successful=K of N; running/cancelled=R; failed=F. Fixed-N gates dropped.
   (N=4 Expert, N=12 Heavy.)
5. Partial context only if useful — may use already-successful reports as ordinary Normal context; label as abandoned-team findings, not a completed Expert/Heavy synthesis.
6. Same-message task — handle with default Normal behavior; not bound to abandoned N.

Contrast: User stop/Ctrl+C without /normal cancels children but keeps Expert/Heavy sticky. /normal mid-flight cancels and clears the mode.

Forbidden after mid-flight /normal: re-entering Expert/Heavy gates “to finish cleanly”; waiting out full join for N; claiming N specialists completed.

Mode-switch mid-flight

On /normal (or leaving Expert/Heavy): cancel prior team; discard their ledger; do not mix prior specialist results into Normal work as if a full team finished.

Notes

• This skill cannot reset shell “mode pills” or product builtins (skills-first v1).
• It does instruct you to stop following Expert/Heavy skill contracts.
• If the user later runs /expert or /heavy, those policies apply again.
• Slash-only entry: model auto-invoke is disabled (disable-model-invocation: true).
