Steering a run
A steer is guidance in plain words that the run's agents read at their next turn. You
propose it with propose_steer(text, target, mode); the operator edits, sends or dismisses
it. You cannot send it, and a proposal changes nothing until they send it.
Target says who reads it. Call list_targets first: it shows the exact role, attempt and
item ids the run holds now, and propose_steer refuses any other id (the refusal lists the
valid ones).
{kind: run}: the next turn of any role (the default).{kind: role, id}: that role's turns. See the run-roles skill for what each kind of role does.{kind: attempt, id}: the next turn in that attempt. An attempt that has ended is refused.{kind: item, id}: the next turn of any attempt at that work item (an idea).
Mode says when:
next_turn: the target's next turn takes it, once. The right default.standing: every turn of the target from then on, until the operator withdraws it. Use it for a rule that must hold ("keep the weights in bf16"), not for a one-off nudge.interrupt: offered to a turn running now when the provider takes a message mid-turn, otherwise the next turn takes it. Use it only when waiting for the next turn would waste work.
After sending, the run reports whether the steer reached a turn, was delivered mid-turn, or was dropped (its target ended first). A standing steer shows as in force until withdrawn.
Write the text for the agent that reads it: one concrete instruction with its reason, no reference to this chat. A steer cannot change how results are measured. Propose at most one or two steers at a time, say what you chose and why (target and mode), and that the operator decides.
