Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I start prototyping, show the notebook with execution order and outputs obvious — surface kernel name, make the cell toolbar visible, and mark unsaved changes so reviewers can see what’s new at a glance.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I clicked the notebook file and nothing happened.
I tried to open the notebook I was working on and the editor didn’t show its cells. The file is in the project workspace, and I’m not sure if the kernel failed to attach or the file opened in a plain text view. Diagnose the most likely cause and tell me the single next action that will reveal which it is.

Become — change the pattern
+I keep losing track of where my notebooks are and whether they’re attached to a kernel.
Notebooks frequently open as plain files or with broken kernel connections across projects, costing me time to reconnect and re-run cells. Tell me the habit change that would stop this: what check do I run the moment I open any notebook, and what quick workspace organisation step prevents it happening again.

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.
