Write titles and subtitles that identify the content
Make subject, object and context recognisable before the reader opens an article or resource card.
Use it when titles are generic, promotional or understandable only to someone who already knows the conversation.

An article describes how a laboratory stores samples between analyses. ‘When checks are not enough’ leaves the object implicit.
The key relationship. Gives the title the identity of the content and lets the subtitle add the missing relation: use, situation or concrete subject matter.

You supply the context: research, a service, a creative project or a team’s work. Examples make the method visible; adaptation preserves the relationships that make it work while understanding the purpose, sources, people and means of your own assignment.
Tell your AI what you want to achieve, what already exists and a practical situation to address. Ask how this competence changes the work and which knowledge from your domain should participate. MAIOS provenance identifies the shared knowledge; you can use it directly in your AI or compose it with an existing kernel.
Adaptation examples in other contexts ↗This competence forms titles, subtitles and descriptions that allow readers to recognise the content before opening it. The name provides orientation; the title identifies the object or relationship; the subtitle adds what is needed to distinguish its use and context.
It works on articles, cards, pages, documents, sections and filenames. Clarity comes from understanding the source, not from applying a promotional formula to every piece of content.
Read the content and its sources sufficiently to identify the actual subject, object and relationship. Consider what the reader already knows and which concrete reference is missing. Preserve a proper name or approved title when it must remain exact; add the necessary description rather than silently changing its identity. If the content is not yet clear, return to the source: a catchy title does not resolve uncertainty about meaning.
The title places the content in a recognisable class and retains only the terms that sustain its identity. If it can be applied unchanged to unrelated objects, look for the missing reference. The subtitle adds the case, activity, dynamics or usefulness that distinguishes this page. Do not repeat the same sentence through synonyms. The pair should work for someone encountering the text for the first time, without requiring them to reconstruct the conversation that generated it.
For the main title, use the identity of the page or its object; a proper name may be sufficient if the supporting line explains the context. Section headings form a map: each names an object, decision or relationship actually discussed. In cards used to choose a route, make the action and what the person receives visible within the relevant domain and context. A call to action names the available gesture after the page has clarified its meaning. Adapt the form without turning these roles into a scheme to repeat mechanically.
The opening and body should confirm the subject identified by the header. A title does not introduce a benefit, level of maturity or effect unsupported by the source. When the work is a text correction, change the selected content while preserving the structure and functions not involved; if a different structure becomes necessary, make that difference recognisable. In translations, preserve identity, relationship, action and scope even when the syntax changes.
For a persistent artefact, connect the readable name, description, path and state. A useful name contains the object or relationship a person will search for; date and version distinguish states without replacing identity. Labels such as type and domain can help orientation, but they do not describe every capability. A local classification does not automatically become a taxonomy of the whole system. The name does not confer authority: the content and its source support what it claims.
These cases illustrate situations, causal distinctions and choices you can adapt to your work.
Italiano. The following cases illustrate how the method is used.
An article describes how a laboratory stores samples between analyses. ‘When checks are not enough’ leaves the object implicit. An illustrative clearer title is ‘Storing samples between two analyses’; the subtitle can name the conditions the article discusses. Revision adds no result or procedure absent from the source.
A software card contains only its product name and a generic promise. Preserve the name and explain that the software organizes support requests and when that helps the team. ‘Read the guide’ becomes an understandable action because the card has established its object.
An archive contains ‘final_notes_v3’. Name the document through its project, object and content type, retaining version and date to distinguish state. Its internal title and description refer to that same object. Renaming does not turn a proposal into an approved decision.
Use SKILL.md or START_CHAT_EN.txt with the relevant sources and your actual context. Keep observations, interpretations and what remains open distinguishable. Preserve the useful reason and continuation in the project’s guide.
Gives the title the identity of the content and lets the subtitle add the missing relation: use, situation or concrete subject matter.
An H1 identifies the literal object or selected proper name. A subtitle supplies the missing use, case or dynamics without repeating it. The H2 sequence reconstructs the semantic map of the page; its supporting text states the concrete relation. A route card can use an action verb joining the delivered object, owning domain and context or result. A CTA names the available action after its consequence is understandable. This grammar follows the object rather than forcing every proper name into an action slogan.
The reader needs a recognizable subject, object or concrete reference. A promotional hook cannot stand in for the missing reference. Preserve an approved title exactly and supply needed context beside it; revise an assistant's draft in its owner when selected. Opening and body continue the same object.
For durable artifacts, align searchable filename, readable title, description, path and metadata with the same identity. A date or final does not identify the object or establish authority. Keep aliases explicit. Tags can distinguish independent facets such as type and domain with stable IDs and localized labels, multiple memberships where supported and room for new facets. Categories do not exhaust capabilities or define the internal ontology.
Match the scope of the selected change: changing words does not silently authorize rebuilding layout or interaction. Where text cannot fit, surface the actual conflict and form the smallest pertinent adjustment. Keep first-read copy sufficient to choose; move internal process, secondary choices and detailed evidence into reachable depth when they do not change that choice.
Form titles, subtitles and descriptions that let readers recognize content before opening it. A name provides orientation; a title identifies the object or relation; a subtitle supplies what distinguishes use and context.
Apply this knowledge to articles, cards, pages, documents, sections and filenames. Clarity comes from understanding the source, not imposing one promotional formula on all content.
Read content and sources deeply enough to identify their actual subject, object and relation. Consider what a reader already knows and which concrete reference is missing. Preserve a proper name or approved title when its exact identity matters, adding an explanation instead of silently renaming it. Return to the source when meaning is unclear; an attractive title cannot resolve that uncertainty.
The title places content in a recognizable class while retaining the words defending its identity. If it fits unrelated objects unchanged, find the missing reference. The subtitle adds the case, activity, dynamic or use distinguishing this page. Do not repeat the same phrase with synonyms. The pair should work for a first-time reader without requiring reconstruction of its originating conversation.
Use the main heading to identify the page or its object; a proper name may suffice when its supporting line explains context. Section headings form a map, each naming an object, decision or relation actually discussed. Choice cards should make the action and useful result visible within their domain and context. A call to action names the available gesture after the page has explained its purpose. Adapt these roles without mechanically repeating a template.
The opening and body should sustain the subject identified by the header. A title must not introduce an unsupported benefit, maturity level or effect. In a selected text correction, preserve unaffected structure and functions. If another structure becomes necessary, make that difference recognizable. Translations preserve identity, relation, action and scope even when syntax changes.
For persistent artifacts, connect readable name, description, location and state. Useful names include the object or relation people will seek; dates and versions distinguish states without replacing identity. Type and field labels can aid orientation without describing the whole capability. A local classification does not automatically define a system-wide taxonomy. Naming confers no authority: content and source support the claim.
The direct work makes a header understandable. A meta relation appears when a correction changes how editorial competence recognizes and presents objects in later work.
The relation is autological when this method notices it still produces generic titles despite formal correctness. Return to the content and change the naming criterion. No title form alone guarantees attention, subscriptions or distribution outcomes.
A correction teaches when a word was missing, when a term was noise and which distinction the reader needed. Preserve the reason in the method with a useful attributed or illustrative example.
Read the result from the position of someone without the originating conversation. This concerns understanding the object rather than promising commercial effectiveness.
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.
The direct work is to make a header understandable. A meta relation appears when a correction changes how the editorial competence recognises and presents objects in subsequent works.
The autological relation is present when this same method notices that it produces titles which are formally correct but still generic. It then returns to the content and changes its naming criterion. No title form alone guarantees attention, subscriptions or other distribution results.
Competence, meta and autology: the conceptual guide ↗A corrected title teaches when a word was missing, when a term was noise and which distinction the reader needed to perceive. Preserve that reason in the method, with an attributed or illustrative example useful to the next use.
Review the result from the perspective of someone encountering the content without the originating chat. This check concerns the comprehensibility of the object, not a promise of commercial effectiveness.
Copy or attach START_CHAT_EN.txt and add your working context. It includes the complete method in English. Keep the useful return for the next session; the assistant may converse in your language.
Make the resource folder readable to the assistant, point it to SKILL.md, and choose the project documents that will carry continuity. Tools and actions depend on the actual environment and mandate.
With an existing kernel, connect the method to the relevant competence and guides. Without one, the complete starter supplies the operating method for the work described here.
