Seppuku

Use this skill as a deliberate self-termination path for the current Codex thread. Its job is not to fix the thread; its job is to stop the thread cleanly and remove it from active attention.

Trigger

Run this only when the user explicitly invokes /seppuku, asks for the thread to delete/archive/end itself, or tells a heartbeat/automation/thread to retire its own conversation. Do not infer this from ordinary errors, weak output, or frustration unless the user clearly requests self-termination.

Procedure

1. Stop all main work immediately.
2. Do not start new investigation unless it is required to preserve a minimal handoff.
3. If there is important unfinished state, write a short handoff in the final response:
   • current goal
   • last reliable evidence/source checked
   • known blockers
   • one suggested next safe action
4. If the thread belongs to a recurring automation or heartbeat, say whether the automation itself still needs pausing/deleting separately. Do not mutate automation state unless the user explicitly approved that exact action in the current turn.
5. Archive the current conversation using the supported archive mechanism.
