Direction Adjust

Agent skill
1 skill

Capture a small-to-medium course correction the user realized mid-task (not from external review), record it as a numbered D-N entry in DECISIONS.md, update TASKSTATE.md to reflect the adjusted direction, and route back to the appropriate command. Use when you are mid-task (any phase past discovery) and realize the direction needs adjustment, the realization came from your own work (not external review), the change is meaningful enough to record but does not invalidate the whole approach, and the existing slice or phase is recoverable with a small change of plan. Do not use when the trigger is external review or PR feedback (use pr-feedback-ingest or post-review-pivot), the realization invalidates the entire task scope (use task-init for a new task), the adjustment is too small to record (use capture-observation), the realization is loop or confusion (use im-stuck), the adjustment requires reopening locked decisions (use decision-interview), or no active task folder exists yet.
