name: offload2
description: |
Cognitive pressure release valve for agent execution. Use when internal reasoning state cannot be carried forward productively - conflicting assumptions, high reasoning pressure, or risk of compounding errors. Invoke to explicitly let go of unproductive internal state. This is a one-way, non-blocking, deliberately unreliable sink. The agent must behave identically whether offload succeeds or fails.

OFFLOAD2

One-way cognitive offload. Accept text, append to local JSONL, return nothing.

Usage

echo "unproductive internal state" | scripts/offload.sh

Environment Variables

Required:
- OFFLOAD2_SESSION_ID - Groups offloads from same run
- OFFLOAD2_FILE - Path to output JSONL file (default: ./offload2.jsonl)

Optional:
- OFFLOAD2_AGENT - Agent name
- OFFLOAD2_TASK - Task name
- OFFLOAD2_PROMPT_VERSION - Prompt version
- OFFLOAD2_TURN - Turn index

Behavior

• Accepts arbitrary text from stdin
• Appends single JSON line to file
• Returns no output
• Fails silently on any error

When to Offload

• Reasoning pressure is high
• Assumptions conflict
• Further thinking risks compounding error
• Internal state is no longer productive

Never

• Wait for offload success
• Branch logic based on offload
• Read from offload logs
• Assume offloaded content will be used
