update_intent
Update an active intent's title, description, scope, or constraints as understanding evolves during work, ensuring intents reflect actual work rather than initial guesses.
Instructions
Update an active intent's title, description, scope, or constraints.
Use this to reformulate an intent as understanding evolves during work. Intents are living documents — they should be updated to reflect what the work actually became, not left as the initial guess. Common triggers for reformulation:
The real problem turned out to be different from the initial hypothesis
Scope expanded or narrowed during investigation
The approach changed after discovering constraints
If no intentId is provided, the currently active intent is updated.
