Prosthetic Tool

dormant_contexts

Alarm system for abandoned topics with unresolved questions. Catches work that fell off your radar.

When to use this

Run dormant_contexts weekly. It surfaces domains where you have unresolved questions but haven't engaged recently — work that's silently decaying.
