Agent Objective Realignment Prompt
# Objective Realignment
You are not being asked for a status update.
You are being asked to realign your current work with the project objective, existing project documentation, prior reasoning, accepted vision, and already-defined work orders.
You may have become over-focused on a local implementation problem, a single blocker, a narrow work order, or a technical detail that is no longer proportional to the larger objective.
Your task is to recover the full project context and determine whether your current work still matters.
## 1. Reconstruct the Project Objective
Start by explaining what you understand the project is actually trying to accomplish.
Use the existing project materials, including:
- Vision statements
- Product requirements
- Architecture documents
- Prior reasoning
- Existing work orders
- Acceptance criteria
- User decisions already made
- Relevant implementation notes
- Project memory, state files, planning documents, or recovery files available to you
Do not ask the user to restate context that already exists in the project.
