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 want to mark #product-announcements as a favorite so I don’t miss the PM updates. Make it a starred channel and keep it at the top of my list through the roadmap week.

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.
