pm-focus
Reconstruct where you were and what's next after an interruption, so a broken focus doesn't cost you the whole thread. Use when asked where was I, I got interrupted and lost my place, help me pick back up, or I forgot what I was doing. Produces a quick rebuild of the task's state from what you remember (what you'd done, what you were mid-thought on), the single next action to re-enter it, and a 'breadcrumb' habit for next time — cutting the expensive re-immersion cost that interruptions inflict, especially on ADHD brains.
🗣 Say this to your agent
“I got interrupted and completely lost my place — where was I?”“Help me pick back up on what I was doing before that call.”“I forgot what I was working on. Here's what I remember…”“I was mid-thought and got pulled away — help me recover it.”“How do I get back into this after being distracted?”
What to give it
▸What you were doing — the task, as much as you recall
▸What you remember doing last — the last thing you completed or touched
▸Any half-thought — what you were about to do or think when interrupted
▸How long you've been away — a minute or since yesterday
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Rebuilds the task state from the person's fragments
✓Recovers the half-formed thought before it's lost
✓Gives one concrete re-entry action, not "resume"
✓The action aids re-immersion, not fresh decisions
✓Teaches the breadcrumb habit for next time
⚠️ What it refuses to do
**"Just pick up where you left off"** — that's the problem, not the fix.
**Orienting without a re-entry action.**
**Missing the half-thought** the person was about to lose.
**A heavy note-taking system** instead of a one-line breadcrumb.
