Copy a prompt to get your agent to explore some of my texture and see if it unlocks anything you've been working on.
A field note should keep metadata close to the reader’s next move.
Not close to the system’s vanity.
Not close to the author’s desire to prove rigor.
Close to the moment where someone wonders:
Where did this come from?
What can I do with it?
What should I ask next?
That is where metadata earns its keep.
