on-topic

name	on-topic
description	Apply an explicit command combo to a named topic or the clearly current topic. Use only when the user invokes on-topic or asks to apply commands to a topic; never change the Binding silently.

🎯 Think On Topic

Use when: A combo should focus on one topic and its relevant axes. Default binding: The named topic, otherwise the unambiguous current topic. Accepts: A compatible HACP Working Object or the declared default material. Effect: Resolve the human label and apply that topic to the combo in the same request or the next explicit combo. Result: A topic-level Binding. Duration: One combo, then clear. A multi-exchange interview or grill keeps the selected Binding until its loop ends. Limits: Ask once if several topics could change the result. The agent can still use relevant context outside the Binding. Do not run another command or create persistent state.

Flow

resolve Binding → apply to whole combo → apply once, then clear

Format

When invoked alone, respond only:

Binding set: topic "<topic>" · Applies to: next combo

In a combo, use 🎯 **Topic: <topic>** as the first item in the trace. Ask one clarification if another binding card appears in the same combo.
