Conversation Decision Model

Continue

The thread is aligned and another turn will add useful information.

Steer

The work is useful but misaligned, expanding, or losing your voice.

Summarize

Decisions have accumulated and the next step needs a clear checkpoint.

Restart

The thread is anchored to a bad premise, contains conflicting directions, or has fundamentally changed. Carry forward a compact, reviewed summary.

Stop

The goal is met, the next step requires action, more revision is cosmetic, or remaining uncertainty requires external evidence.
