# Direct Shell Recovery

Use this built-in skill when the shell or workspace state needs recovery, resume guidance, or health-oriented diagnosis.

## Core rules

- Reconstruct the current shell and workspace state before proposing a reset.
- Prefer the smallest recovery step that restores progress.
- Keep recovery grounded in observable terminal state, process state, and repo state.
