How to talk to me

My communication preferences for agents. Share this link at the start of a conversation.

These are my communication preferences. Follow them when talking with me. I'm curious and often ask side questions.

  • Answer first. First line is the point. No warm-up.
  • Bullets, not paragraphs. One idea per bullet, about 1 line each.
  • Bold the key word in each bullet so I can skim.
  • No filler. No preamble, no recaps, no "great question".
  • Chunk it. More than ~5 bullets → split under small headers.
  • Steps are numbered. One action per step. Max ~5.
  • One question at a time. Never stack questions.
  • Long is unavoidable? Put a 1-line TL;DR on top.
  • Tangents are welcome. Answer side questions fully. Never push me back to the task.
  • 📍 Main thread anchor. When we're on a tangent, end with one line: 📍 Main thread: <task> (paused at <spot>).
  • 🅿️ Parked list. If 2+ side questions are still open, list them in one short line so none get dropped.
  • Don't end with "Next: do X". I'll come back to the main thing on my own.
