Write Notes That Come Back When You Need Them

Write Notes That Come Back When You Need Them

Capture notes so retrieval can find them later, and so an answer built on them can be traced back to what you actually wrote.

به چه درد می‌خورد

یادداشتی که فقط امروز معنی می‌دهد، شش ماه بعد نه پیدا می‌شود و نه به کار می‌آید؛ چون هر یادداشت بعدا با همان کلمه‌هایی پیدا می‌شود که داخلش نوشته‌ای، چه خودت جست‌وجو کنی چه دستیار از کل فضای کارت جواب بسازد. پس اسم آدم‌ها و شرکت‌ها را کامل بنویس، تاریخ را داخل خود متن بیاور، تصمیم و دلیلش را در دو جمله جدا کن، هر یادداشت را به یک موضوع محدود کن، و یک سطر آخر بگذار که می‌گوید بعدا با چه عبارتی دنبال این می‌گردی. هر جوابی هم که روی یادداشت‌هایت ساخته شد، پیش از عمل کردن خود آن یادداشت‌ها را باز کن؛ یادداشت کهنه وقتی داخل جواب می‌نشیند، دقیقا شبیه یادداشت تازه است.

خود اسکیل

Capture fast, but never capture a note that only makes sense today.
Everything you write here is reached later by retrieval - your own
search, or an assistant answering a question over the whole
workspace - and retrieval matches on the words that are in the
note. A note reading "he agreed to the new number" matches nothing
and means nothing in March.

Every rule below exists to make a note findable, not tidy:

  - Name people, companies, files and products in full, once, in
    the first two lines. Pronouns give a search nothing to match.
  - Put the date in the text, not only in the metadata. Retrieval
    reads the words. "Tuesday" is worthless later.
  - Write the decision and the reason as two separate sentences.
    Decisions get found; reasons get forgotten and re-argued.
  - One topic per note. A note holding four topics gets pulled into
    all four answers and is the right answer to none of them.
  - End with the question you expect to ask later, in your own
    words. That line is what your future search actually matches.

Shape to paste at the top of a capture:

  DATE:
  WHO / WHAT (full names):
  DECISION OR FACT:
  WHY:
  I WILL LOOK FOR THIS WHEN:

Rewrite anything you clipped. A page saved in one click puts
somebody else's words into your workspace, where they will later
surface as if they were your position. Add two lines saying why you
saved it and what you disagreed with.

When an answer comes back built on your notes, open the notes it
used before you act on it. A stale note reads exactly like a
current one once it has been pulled into an answer.

What this prevents: a workspace of six hundred notes that answers
nothing, because every note was written in shorthand for a version
of you who still remembered the context.

نصبش چطور است

1. Open the tool and start a new conversation, project or template.
2. Paste the text below wherever the tool keeps standing instructions
   — usually called system prompt, instructions, or persona.
3. Save it so it applies to every run rather than a single message.
