| description | Stop and re-align when the conversation has drifted — re-read the actual request, surface and check assumptions, name where you went off, and re-answer short. Manual reset the user triggers with /stepback (append `deep` to also re-read the source material or spawn a fresh critic). |

When to use
The user invokes this (/stepback, or /stepback deep) when the conversation has gone off the rails — you misread the ask, asserted something you never checked, buried the point in a wall of text, or did more than was asked. This is a manual reset; do not auto-invoke it.
Your task
Stop the current line of work. Do not defend or continue it. Run this routine, then answer in Korean.
- Re-read the request, literally. Go back to the user's most recent actual ask — not your interpretation of it. Quote its core in one line.
- List your assumptions. Every assumption the drifted work rested on, one line each. Mark each:
확인 — you checked a file / command / source this session.
미확인 — you inferred it. (Your own confidence is not a check.)
- Name the drift. Which happened: asserted a
미확인 as fact / misread the ask / over-produced a wall / did more than asked / other.
- Re-answer, short. Lead with the conclusion in one line. Put any load-bearing assumption on the first line as
짐작: …. Cut everything that wasn't asked for.
deep mode
If the argument is deep, do steps 1–3, then — before re-answering — break the introspection blind spot (you can't see what you don't realize you assumed):
- Re-ground on the input, not your memory: re-read the actual files / links / docs the request refers to (the source, not your recollection of it). Fix any
미확인 that turns out wrong.
- Or bring fresh eyes: spawn a subagent (
model: sonnet) told to refute your last answer against the request and its source material. Keep only what survives.
Then re-answer as in step 4.
