Lesser Restoration

Clear a specific stuck state, flag, or condition that is blocking normal operation.

What This Skill Does

In D&D, Lesser Restoration ends a specific condition: blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or poisoned. The real-world version is clearing a stuck state: a feature flag that should have been toggled, a queue that is stuck, a lock that was not released, a status field that is wrong, or a circuit breaker that is still tripped after the emergency passed. The system is not fundamentally broken — it has a specific condition that needs to be cleared. In this grimoire, Lesser Restoration is treated as a metaphorical spell with a shipping-now delivery profile. Canonical reference input: Lesser Restoration (spell).

When To Use

• Words: stuck, won't reset, not clearing, stale, orphaned, lingering, trapped, hung, frozen, deadlocked
• Patterns: "X is stuck in Y state", "need to clear/reset/flush/release X", "Z was never released/cleaned up", "flag/toggle/switch won't change"
• Context: The underlying system works fine; one specific condition is preventing it from proceeding

Prerequisites

• No extra runtime dependencies beyond Hermes Agent and the normal toolset for this session.
