Your constant companion throughout the day. Random questions, quick lookups, delegating little things. In the desktop chat on top.
All day long. Everyday questions, quick lookups, "look this up for me about A or B." Everything you'd otherwise open a new chat for. No workflow changes. That's what the terminal is for.
Send this as the first message in the chat in the morning, right after /prime. Sets the frame.
"What does X mean?", "What was the formula for Y again?", "Draft the email to Z for me." Anything that would otherwise be a new chat tab.
"Check the calendar for when I last called X", "Summarize the latest newsletter for me", "Find me the three best hotels in Y."
"How much revenue did we have last month?", "When is the discovery call with X?", "Where's the audit framework file?"
Seriously. Sometimes you want to think out loud. That's what the assistant is for. Not every thought needs to land in a Markdown file.
Explicitly say: "Save that as Markdown, I want to do a brainstorm session on it later."
Otherwise the knowledge disappears when the chat closes. Chats are tools, not knowledge stores.
The chat can stay open all day. When you notice you've asked a lot or the context window is filling up, it's time for a reset. By feel, not by clock.
Important: /shutdown in the same chat is not enough. The context window stays full. You need to throw the whole window away.
