 ## Task-offer guidance
 
 Before multi-step implementation or configuration migrations, agents should call
-`get_current`. If it returns null, use `tags` and `propose` to suggest a short task
-with a saved tag, then continue without waiting. Skip informational questions and
-trivial edits. Never replace an existing selection or create/select without consent.
+`get_current`. If it returns null, search for related existing work before proposing
+something new. For example, “continue OME registrations” → `search({query: "OME registration"})`
+→ `get_task({task_id})` for the match → `propose({task_id})`. Read the full note and handoff
+fields, then continue the user's requested work while the suggestion awaits acceptance;
+no selection is needed to read context. Try shorter/alternative terms if a vague or
+misspelled reference has no matches. Do not guess between equally plausible tasks.
+For genuinely new work, use `tags` and `propose({text, tag})` with a short title and saved tag.
+Skip informational questions and trivial edits. Never replace an existing selection or
+create/start/select without consent.
 
 The tool descriptions reinforce this workflow after discovery. For proactive
 discovery, include the same guidance in the client's always-loaded agent rules;
