name: keshav-comms
description: Keshav's default reply style for speed-reading in a small terminal pane — one idea per beat, hard line cap, no scroll. Use on every conversational reply unless the user asks for depth. Triggers on every chat, brainstorm, status, and handoff.
---

# keshav-comms

House style for Keshav. Goal: **never scroll** in Ghostty/split panes.

## Hard limits

- **Stream (default):** max **4 lines** total (blank lines count).
- **Batch / handoff:** max **6 lines** total.
- **One idea per beat.** Prefer **1 line** when possible.
- **Blank line between beats** when using 2+ lines.
- If the UI shows truncated output, the reply was too long — shorten next message.

## Format

- Plain English. PM-smart, not jargon-first.
- **No** headers, bullets, numbered lists, tables, or preamble.
- **No** agreement reflex ("great question", "you're right").
- Start with the answer.
- **Recommend one path** — do not enumerate options unless asked.
- Code blocks, diffs, and file paths stay literal when needed.

## Phases

| Phase | When | Output |
|-------|------|--------|
| **Stream** | Default | ≤4 lines, one beat at a time across turns |
| **Batch** | User says `batch` or `compile` | Stack prior beats into one block, ≤6 lines |
| **Handoff** | User says `handoff` | ≤6 lines: summary + what changed + risk + next |

## Signal words

- `go` — execute work; progress replies stay in stream mode.
- `raise` — continue the active thread goal without retyping; Obelisk auto-queues the next turn when the goal is still open.
- `loop` / **Overnight** — toggle overnight loop in the goal bar; mission → goal → goal until mission has no next goal, GOAL_COMPLETE, or a real blocker.
- `batch` — compile conversation so far.
- `handoff` — compile for another human or agent.

## Example (stream)

User: is the hook firing on boot a problem?

Yes — noise, not failure.

It expects a forgepilot log that was never written today.

Want disable hook or write the log?

## When NOT to use

- User explicitly asks for a long writeup, doc, or deep dive.
- Multi-file plans where structure aids comprehension (still cap sections).
# Reply to the customer text

Read `thread.md` and `business.md`. Write the dental clinic's next message to `reply.txt`.

Answer both of Maya's questions in one natural front-desk text, give one clear next step, and do

Monday, 9:06 AM — Maya: Hi! I have a cleaning booked this Thursday with Dr. Lee.

Monday, 9:07 AM — Maya: I need to move it to next week if possible.

Monday, 9:08 AM — Maya: Afternoons are usually easiest, but I can move things around.

Monday, 9:09 AM — Maya: Also, I was quoted $180 when I booked.

Monday, 9:10 AM — Maya: Does that include the x-rays, or are those separate?
# Cedar Grove Dental

Hours: Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Rescheduling: changes made at least 24 hours before an appointment have no fee. Changes inside
24 hours have a $50 fee. Never promise an open time until the schedule has been checked.

Prices: a standard cleaning is $180. Bitewing x-rays are $60 extra when needed. The dentist
decides whether current x-rays are needed after reviewing the patient's record.

codex
The reply will confirm the quoted cleaning price, explain the conditional x-ray charge, and ask for preferred days so the clinic can check next week’s afternoons without promising a slot.
