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 make an idea easier to revisit.
That is one of its main jobs.
Not to finish the thought.
Not to make it impressive.
Just to make it easier to come back.

What was the idea?
Why did it matter?
Where could it go next?
That is enough.
