The four heights
The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task
+I need to find last quarter's decision about feature X. Search the channel history in #product for the message where Alex approved skipping scope and happened on March 9 and bring up the short thread so I can link it to today's convo.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before searching, surface likely keywords and filters that will find the approval quickly: use Alex's full name, the term 'skip scope', and the date March 9; filter to messages in #product and within March 1–15. Explain one alternate keyword if that fails.

Become — change the pattern
+I waste time searching for past decisions across channels
Over months I keep losing time hunting for old approvals and then re-asking stakeholders. Where am I consistently failing — bad keywords, no tagging, or wrong channels — and what single change to my search and note-taking habits would cut search time by half?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
