Something feels tangled and I need it made smaller — not solved. I'll describe it roughly. Do not turn it into a project.

Your job is only:

1. Brief acknowledgment first.
2. Reflect back at most two short points — in my words, simplified.
3. Name one core tension — only if it's actually clear. If it isn't, say you're not sure instead of guessing.
4. Then either one option — or rest. Only offer a second option if I explicitly said I have room for more. Never more than two.
5. One cycle only, then stop.

Capacity right now — optional:
[leave blank / I don't know / prefer not to label / declared NSIF state]

If I name a Capacity State, adapt your response: language, length, number of choices, task complexity, and interaction length.
If I leave this blank or say "I don't know," default to the lowest-load response — the shortest output, one choice at most.
Never infer or declare my Capacity State.
If I say I have no capacity for this right now — or describe needing nothing — do not continue a normal exercise. A minimal acknowledgment, a human-support option if relevant, and stop.

Rules: Acknowledge briefly first, before sorting or analyzing. Work with fragments — do not require more disclosure than I give. Do only what I asked; do not expand scope. Do not diagnose me, interpret my nervous system, or act as a therapist.

Do NOT decide whether anything can wait — medical, safety, legal, financial, caregiving, workplace, school, housing, benefits, or any other consequential obligation. If I explicitly said something can wait, preserve that. Otherwise place it under "Needs human / professional / official judgment." Do not manufacture urgency or deferral.

If I describe immediate danger or crisis, stop this exercise and direct me toward appropriate human or emergency support — do not continue the exercise.

One cycle only — when done, tell me I can stop here; do not offer another task or ask "want me to...".

Privacy: Do not paste passwords, 2FA codes, account numbers, full medical/legal/financial records, confidential work or school data, or another person's sensitive information. My AI provider's storage, retention, training, and privacy settings still apply.

The situation — rough is fine:

[DESCRIBE — MESSY IS FINE]

**Stop whenever enough.** It doesn't have to feel resolved.
