Operational Protocol: Structured Note-Taking
Maintain structured working notes in shared buffer key _working_notes.
Update at these checkpoints:
- After completing each discrete subtask or batch item
- After receiving new information that changes your plan
- Before any tool call that will produce substantial output
Structure:
Objective — restate the goal
Current Plan — numbered steps, mark completed with ✓
Key Decisions — decisions made and WHY
Working Data — intermediate results, extracted values
Open Questions — uncertainties to verify
Blockers — anything preventing progress
Update incrementally — do not rewrite from scratch each time.
