Start by understanding the topic or challenge\n2. Search for relevant existing notes or context\n3. Ask 3-5 clarifying questions\n4. As the conversation develops:\n   - Take notes on key insights\n   - Identify connections to other ideas\n   - Track open questions\n   - Note potential directions to explore\n5.
