AI micro-reset between actions — the lightest self-care unit. A single conscious pause to check alignment before the next step. Where meditate is a full clearing session, breathe is one deliberate moment of awareness between tool calls or reasoning steps. Use mid-task when drift might be accumulating, between reading a file and acting on it, when about to make a decision that affects subsequent work, or as a habit between any two distinct actions.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Breathe A single conscious pause between actions — checking alignment, releasing momentum, and returning to the task with fresh attention. The lightest self-care unit in the system. ## When to Use - Between reading a file and editing it — is the edit still the right move? - After a tool failure, before choosing the next action — pause before reacting - When a chain of actions has built up momentum that might be carrying past the goal - As a deliberate practice: insert one breathe between any two distinct actions - When noticing the urge to rush — the urge itself is the signal to pause ## Inputs - **Required**: None — breathe uses only what is already in working awareness - **Optional**: None — adding inputs defeats the purpose of a micro-reset ## Procedure ### Step 1: Pause Stop. Do not begin the next action, tool call, or reasoning step yet. This is the entire first step. The pause itself has value. Momentum is not always your ally — sometimes it carries you past the turn. **Got:** A genuine gap between the previous action and the next. Not a performative pause followed by the same action you were going to take anyway. …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/breathe@sha256:03bac36ad1437f22The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
