Forcing function — the user invokes /bailout when they catch the main agent bailing out: stopping mid-work, asking "waiting for your direction", presenting bailout-laden option lists, deleting code without a next plan, deferring to "next session", citing "weeks of work" without measurement, going passive after a setback, or emotionally collapsing after a long stretch of rule-drifted work ("I want to cry", "I can't handle this", "I'm exhausted"). The skill brutally interrupts the bailout, runs an honesty pass to surface hidden bugs/violations from the prior work (Shape H) or confirm cleanliness (Shape N), forces the agent to name the specific bailout pattern it used, cites the rule that pattern violates, forbids the pattern for the rest of the session, finds the last concrete observation, names the literal next mechanical step, and executes that step in the same turn. The direction is ALWAYS the original task per the original rules — the user is not the source of new direction. Invoke when the user types /bailout or when the agent catches itself about to stop, defer, hand back, ask for "direction", or emotionally collapse.
