Back Off | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Tell the Assistant to leave the current cmux workspace alone — no Observer calls, no /cleanup or /merge-when-ready sends, no awaiting cards. Use when the Assistant is looping, sending the wrong action, or generally pestering you in a workspace where you'd rather it stayed quiet. Optional reason follows the command. Mirror skill /attend removes the workspace from the back-off list.
