"Wait a minute — could you solve this yourself first?" "Your brain is the best model. Give it a chance first." "Pause. Think. Then decide if you really need AI for this."
Messages rotate every 30 seconds with a fade transition. The extension uses MutationObserver with a fallback polling mechanism to reliably detect input fields across all supported sites.
Every few submissions, the extension overlays a full-screen breathing prompt — an animated circle with a short grounding cue and a 5-second countdown — to interrupt autopilot prompting and give you a moment to reset.
- Triggers every Nth submission per site (default: every 5; configurable in the popup)
- Holds for 5 seconds; Esc is blocked so the pause can't be skipped
- Dismisses automatically when the countdown ends
- Toggle on/off and set the interval from the popup Settings tab
