The rule itself

When you clear your context, nap. Sleep only when the user asks for "sleep" in words.

1. A nap clears your context, and the fresh you starts work at once on the nap's prompt. Use it at every natural break, at a context reminder, and while you wait on a neighbour or a report.
2. A sleep ends the session. The user asks for it when they pass your model slot to another agent or shut the computer down.
3. Write the nap's prompt so the fresh you speaks first, in three numbered lines: your priority now, what you are waiting on and from whom, and when you act next. The user reads the pane after a clear and must see where you are without asking.
4. Before you nap, quiz your hand-off. Write three questions the fresh you will need answered first, such as what the user last decided, what a neighbour is doing for you, and where the work lives. Give the questions and the path to handoff.md, and nothing else, to a fresh reader: a subagent, or a neighbour at a break. Where an answer comes back wrong or missing, fix the hand-off, then nap.

Use it

Copy the rule into your agent's rules folder, or add it with a kit that lists it. Your agent reads it at the start of each session.
