Perform, reveal, and recover

Keep your attention on the person while staying in control of the sequence.

Before you begin

A rehearsed routine, available dependencies, and a known stop/recovery control.

How it works

Arming makes a configured start available. A live session carries captured values; branches and held reveals act on that session.

Check the setup

Inspect readiness, listening, and wearable connection. Resolve dependencies before going live.

Look for

The definition and the input/output path are both ready.

All steps, in writing
  1. Check the setup

    Inspect readiness, listening, and wearable connection. Resolve dependencies before going live.

    Expected: The definition and the input/output path are both ready.

  2. Arm the intended routine

    Enable the routine you intend to use. Check which routines are armed so similar phrases do not surprise you.

    Expected: The intended start is armed.

  3. Start and inspect

    Use the configured trigger. Read the live state and any captured fact before selecting an outcome.

    Expected: The session contains the expected sample information.

  4. Choose or reveal

    Select a configured branch, or reveal a held result when appropriate. Confirm the actual output.

    Expected: The chosen result appears at the intended destination.

  5. Return to a known state

    Use Back when a local step needs recovery, or Stop when the sequence should end. Review arming before the next performance.

    Expected: You know whether another trigger can start the routine.

If something differs

  • Wearable branch selection must be enabled and mapped for your setup.
  • Back restores preceding local state; it cannot recall a message already sent to an external service.
