Why it matters
Notes are only useful if you can find and connect them later. Agents that organise, summarise and link information make a personal knowledge base far easier to keep up. It is one of 44 sightings filed under Knowledge & Notes on Agent Sightings (number 22 by interest), and one of 164 involving Claude Code.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Claude Code or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Before we end, write a handover note to /handover/ with today's date: what we worked on, decisions made, open questions, and next steps.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
