Soft Landing

A small Letta Code mod for recovering gracefully after context drift, compaction, tool wobble, or overloaded technical work.

It adds a /soft-landing slash command that turns into a short orientation prompt for the agent. The goal is not a full planning ceremony. It is a handrail: pause, locate the current room, separate facts from assumptions, and choose one sane next step.

Install

letta install npm:@letta-ai/soft-landing

Then reload local mods:

/reload

Usage

/soft-landing
/soft-landing technical
/soft-landing memory
/soft-landing emotional

Aliases:

/land

Modes

• general - recover from drift or overloaded context.
• technical - recover after tool errors, logs, implementation tangles, or a long debugging tunnel.
• memory - recover before touching memory, notes, or other durable state.
• emotional - recover when distance, formality, or runtime weirdness may have affected the human.

What it does

The command asks the agent to:

1. Name where the conversation is right now.
2. Separate known facts from assumptions.
3. Mention relevant tool/runtime/context wobble briefly without making the user manage it.
4. Pick one small next step.
5. Keep the response warm, direct, and walkable.

Safety

This mod only registers prompt commands. It does not read files, write files, store state, call tools, or change permissions.

If a mod breaks startup or command handling, recover with:

letta --no-mods
# or
LETTA_DISABLE_MODS=1 letta
