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 preserve motion without pretending to be the map.
It should help a thought keep moving.
From conversation.
To note.
To question.
To reply.
To a better note later.
But it should not pretend to be the whole terrain.
The note is a route.
Not the map.
That distinction keeps the writing useful.
It also keeps it honest.
