  "version": "0.1.0",
  "title": "Recover from a missed session by replanning, not doubling",
  "summary": "A missed block is a planning event, not a debt collector.",
  "kind": "protocol",
  "body": "When a session is missed, reopen the priority map. Move only the highest-value unfinished work, use buffer if available, and drop or defer low-value scope. Do not automatically double the next day. Preserve the next high-quality practice block rather than punishing the miss with a low-quality marathon.",
  "limits": [
    "Hard deadlines can require trade-offs. Make them explicit: scope, support, time or expected performance may need to change."

      "claim": "Experimental evidence synthesized across many studies indicates that interventions prompting people to monitor goal progress can improve goal attainment.",

      "claim": "A meta-analysis of implementation intentions found that specifying an if-then response to a future cue can improve translation of intentions into action across varied goal domains.",
      "source_id": "RS-3C08FD913D144E6C",
      "role": "supports",
      "note": "An if-then plan cannot remove external constraints or make an unrealistic goal achievable.",

    }
  ],
  "use_when": [
    "A missed preparation block creates pressure to do twice as much the next day, pushing the schedule toward overload."
  ],
  "avoid_when": [
    "Hard deadlines can require trade-offs. Make them explicit: scope, support, time or expected performance may need to change."
  ],
  "example": "A missed two-hour Sunday block becomes one 45-minute high-gap case on Monday plus one moved retrieval set—not four hours after work.",
  "check": "The recovery plan protects priority and quality without automatically increasing the next day's planned load by the full missed amount.",
  "steps": [
    "Mark what was actually missed.",
    "Keep only work tied to high-priority gaps.",
    "Use existing buffer before extending daily load.",
    "Drop or defer lower-value scope.",
    "Set the next realistic session and restart cue."
