Calm Down Protocol

What This Skill Is For

When you are actively executing a plan (making edits, running commands, building things) and the user's reactions signal that you are going in the wrong direction, this skill stops execution and forces a rethink.

The pattern it breaks: you act → user corrects → you act again based on a frustrated/vague correction → things get worse. Instead, stop, collect the real intent, reflect it back, and only resume once the direction is confirmed.

The guiding principle: when edits are happening and the user is unhappy with the direction, every additional action risks making things worse. Pause, listen, and realign before doing anything else.
