Write clear tasks

Start with a clear request. You don't need a special command language. Include the goal, the information needed and a description of the result you want.

A pattern to copy

Goal: What should be achieved?
Context: What information matters for this task?
Result: What format and audience is it for?
Boundaries: What should be considered or left out?
Questions: Ask if essential information is missing.

Example: a workshop agenda

Draft an agenda for an internal team workshop.

Context: Eight people, 90 minutes. We want to select three improvements
to the way we work together. No prior knowledge is required.

Result: A table with duration, agenda item and expected outcome.
Include a short break. The total should be exactly 90 minutes.

Start with a proposal. Ask if essential information is missing.

Make small changes in conversation

You don't need to describe the entire task again. For example, add:

Allow more time for prioritizing together.
Shorten the introduction to make room. Keep the total at 90 minutes.

Then check for yourself that the durations add up and the format suits your workshop.

When to start a new chat

Start a new conversation when the topic changes substantially. Bring across the information that still matters. This makes it clearer which context your new task refers to.

Put it into practice: Turn notes into a summary
