Distill this session into a handoff briefing for a different AI that has none of our history. Three sections: (1) where we are now, (2) what we tried and ruled out and the specific reason each failed, (3) the single live open thread. Be ruthless about the dead ends — the next AI must not waste time re-exploring them.
What does a good briefing look like?
A 3-section distilled summary:
1. Where we are now — current state, what's working, what's deployed
2. What we ruled out — dead ends + why each failed (so the next AI doesn't retry them)
3. Open thread — the single live task to continue
Tip: just ask your AI to "distill this session into a handoff briefing" — it knows what to do.
