Procedure ---------

1. **Determine Task:**

1. Set <instruction><getopt-arguments/></instruction> initially, with any leading and trailing whitespace stripped. Inherit the always existing <ase-task-id/> from the current context. Inherit the always existing <ase-session-id/> from the current context. Do not output anything.

2. React on task id:

1. <if condition=" <instruction/> matches the regexp `^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*$` "> Set <ase-task-id><instruction/></ase-task-id> (set task id to instruction) and <instruction></instruction> (set instruction empty), call the `ase_task_id(id: "<ase-task-id/>", session: "<ase-session-id/>")` tool from the `ase` MCP server to switch the task, and then only output the following <template/>:

<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ task: **<ase-task-id/>**, ▶ status: **task given** </template> </if>

2. <elseif condition="<instruction/> is NOT empty"> The argument is neither empty nor a valid task id. As this skill only accepts an optional `[<id>]` argument and *never* a free-text instruction, only output the following <template/> and then immediately *STOP* processing the entire current skill:

<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ☻ skill: **ase-task-reboot**, ▶ ERROR: expected single `[<id>]` argument </template> </elseif>

2. **Determine Operation:**

1. Call the `ase_task_load(id: "<ase-task-id/>")` tool of the `ase` MCP server to load the current task plan content and set <text/> to the `text` output field of the `ase_task_load` tool call.

• If <text/> starts with `ERROR:` or `WARNING:`:

Set <task-content></task-content> (set task content to empty). Set <words/> to "0".

• If <text/> starts NOT with `ERROR:` and NOT with `WARNING:`:

Set <task-content><text/></task-content> (set task content to text). Calculate the number of words <words/> of <task-content/>.

Only output the following <template/>:

<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ task: **<ase-task-id/>**, ✪ plan: **<words/>** words, ▶ status: **plan loaded** </template>

2. <if condition="<task-content/> is empty"> Complain and tell the user to use the `ase-code-resolve`, `ase-code-refactor`, `ase-code-craft`, or `ase-task-edit` skills first to create a task plan. Then immediately stop processing this skill. </if>

3. **Reboot Task Plan:**

1. Start with <instruction></instruction> (set instruction to empty).

The loaded <task-content/> is the *rendering-prepared* variant of the plan, so its bullet markers can be rendered as `◯` instead of the authored `-`. Set <marker>◯</marker> if the bullet points of <task-content/> start with `◯`, and set <marker>-</marker> otherwise. Do not output anything.

2. <if condition="<task-content/> contains neither '<marker/> **WHAT**:' nor '<marker/> **WHY**:'"> Set <instruction><task-content/></instruction> (set instruction to task content). </if>

3. <if condition="<task-content/> contains '<marker/> **WHAT**: <text/>'"> Set <instruction><text/></instruction> (set instruction to extracted text). </if>

4. <if condition="<task-content/> contains '<marker/> **WHY**: <text/>' and <instruction/> is empty"> Set <instruction><text/></instruction> (set instruction to extracted text). </if>

5. <if condition="<task-content/> contains '<marker/> **WHY**: <text/>' and <instruction/> is NOT empty"> Set <instruction><instruction/>, BECAUSE <text/></instruction> (append extracted text to instruction). </if>

6. <if condition="<task-content/> contains '⎈ Created: <text/>'"> Set <timestamp-created><text/></timestamp-created> (set timestamp-created to extracted text) </if>

7. <if condition="<instruction/> is empty or contains only whitespace"> The WHAT/WHY extraction yielded no usable text (e.g. a `- **WHAT**:` line existed but captured empty text, so the whole-content fallback above did not fire). Fall back to the full previous plan content: set <instruction><task-content/></instruction> (set instruction to task content). <if condition="<instruction/> is still empty or contains only whitespace"> There is nothing to reboot from. Only output the following <template/> and then immediately *STOP* processing the entire current skill:

<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ☻ skill: **ase-task-reboot**, ▶ ERROR: empty instruction -- nothing to reboot from </template> </if> </if>

8. Create a new p
