activate_intent
Set an existing intent as your current focus by its ID. Use it to switch intent focus, reactivate a deactivated intent, or resume an abandoned one with restored decisions.
Instructions
Activate an existing intent by ID — sets it as THIS session's current focus.
Use this to:
Switch your current focus to a different intent found via list_team_intents or get_relevant_context
Re-activate an intent that was deactivated (e.g., to complete it)
Resume work on a previously created intent
Resume an "abandoned" intent (see below)
Accepts both cloud IDs (from get_relevant_context / API) and local UUIDs (from list_team_intents).
Multi-active model: activating an intent only moves YOUR session's current pointer. Many intents can be active on a repo at once (one current per session/teammate), so this never blocks on or displaces another session's active intent — there is no lock to take over.
Resuming abandoned intents:
Abandoned intents have their decisions soft-deleted (invisible to recall and get_relevant_context). Activating one transparently restores them — single-intent decisions for this intent get their soft-delete cleared so the prior reasoning becomes visible again. Multi-intent decisions stay visible throughout (they were never soft-deleted).
