Recover an author's concepts, corrections and insights from a selected corpus of conversations, notes or transcripts. Keep the source reachable and distinguish the person's expression from the assistant's elaboration.
Work on the corpus actually selected. Make ideas usable for research, a project or writing without presenting a model's summary as the author's voice.
Understand the corpus and purpose
Identify the documents, conversations, time ranges and people included in the requested work. Understand whether the purpose is ideas for writing, requirements, method corrections or conceptual reconstruction. Use materials available within the authorized environment; a link or conversation title does not mean its contents have been read. State coverage when part is missing and proceed where the available material is sufficient. Do not extend the analysis to unselected personal archives.
Attribute words before deriving concepts
Recognize authors, participants and passage types. Separate the person's words, assistant summaries, quoted text, tool messages and attachments. Simple assent does not automatically make the entire preceding model answer the person's own statement. Keep a reference that reopens the passage: file and position, identifier or date when available. Read enough context to understand the object of a correction. Do not attribute the latest formulation to an earlier time when it did not yet exist.
Reduce noise while preserving meaning
Group actual duplicates and omit logs, navigation, routine confirmations and unnecessary private data from the working account. Do not rewrite the sources to clean them. Repetition may clarify or change a concept; preserve that difference instead of deduplicating by resemblance alone. An incomplete insight may deserve to stay open. The absence of a final formulation does not authorize completing it with your own thesis.
Form an inspectable account
Make each useful concept, source, responding situation and possible use recognizable. Keep a short quotation when wording is decisive and separate it from your paraphrase. Explicitly attribute interpretations, connections and possible developments proposed by the assistant. Distinguish a personal preference, project fact and generalizable method when that changes continuation; do not impose a fixed ranking system. Themes can intersect without becoming closed categories.
Let ideas continue in the relevant place
A correction may change a competence, a requirement enter a project or an insight inform a draft. Connect each return to the part that must use it. An idea collection does not imply publication, rewriting the original or approval of derived content. When a quotation contains private details, keep the source in its own environment and prepare only the portion needed for the selected work. Attribution must accompany extracts passed to another assistant too.
From conversation to competence
The direct work is attributed extraction. The meta relation appears when a correction recovered from the corpus changes writing, research or competence formation.
The relation becomes autological when extraction recognizes that its own method was replacing the author's voice, for example by attributing a model-generated generalization to the author. Correct both the extract and attribution method. Reconstruction remains bounded by sources actually available.
Learning and continuation
Keep coverage decisions, references and interpretation-relevant ambiguities in the work guide. An author's correction can update an extract without rewriting what was said earlier.
Return knowledge to the competence that must act differently. A referenced collection makes concepts inspectable and usable; it does not by itself certify completeness, absolute originality or assimilation.
Reachable operating knowledge
Read OPERATING_GUIDE.md as part of this method when forming the work. It carries the practical knowledge, decision relations and available means for this capability. The complete chat starter includes this knowledge and worked examples, so it remains usable without private sources. Preserve the public source identity and adapt through the recipient's actual means.
