Example Outputs

Example 1: Travel Planning

## [[Current Situation]]
- Destination: Barcelona, June 15-22
- Budget: €1500/​person, 2 people
- Flights booked (Lufthansa LH1134)
- Blocker: hotel not confirmed yet

## [[Key Info]]
- Must-see: Sagrada Familia, Park Güell, Gothic Quarter
- Restaurant rec: Cervecería Catalana (from Maria)
- Hotel shortlist: Hotel Jazz (€120/​night), Praktik Rambla (€95/​night)
- Rail pass: €50 for week, covers all metro

## [[Next Steps]]
1. Book hotel by tomorrow (prices rise)
2. Reserve Sagrada Familia tickets (time slot 10am preferred)
3. Check travel insurance options

Example 2: Research Task

## [[Current Situation]]
- Topic: AI coding assistants comparison
- Tested: Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Kilo Code
- Winner so far: Kilo Code (BYOK + OpenRouter)
- Still need: pricing breakdown

## [[Key Info]]
- Cursor: $20/​month, proprietary models
- Windsurf: $15/​month, limited free tier
- Kilo Code: BYOK, transparent costs via OpenRouter
- Key factor: want cost control + transparency
- Source: Reddit r/​LocalLLaMA thread (Dec 2024)

## [[Next Steps]]
1. Calculate monthly costs for Kilo Code usage
2. Test Roo Code as final alternative
3. Write comparison doc for team

Example 3: Coding Project

## [[Current Situation]]
- Building: Spotify stats dashboard (Next.js + React)
- Auth: OAuth working, tokens refreshing
- DB: Supabase connected
- Blocker: top artists API pagination broken

## [[Key Info]]
`/​lib/​spotify.ts` - main API logic
`/​app/​api/​auth/​callback/​route.ts` - OAuth handler
Using: SWR for data fetching, Tailwind CSS
Bug: only returns 20 artists, need 50

## [[Next Steps]]
1. Fix pagination in getTopArtists()
2. Add caching layer (Redis?)
3. Deploy to Vercel

When to Use

• Context window filling up
• End of work session
• Before switching topics
• User asks to "save progress"
• Handing off to someone else
• Major topic shift coming

Important

• Adapt sections to conversation type
• Skip irrelevant sections (e.g., no code paths for travel planning)
• Focus on what's needed to continue seamlessly
• Include only info that would be hard to reconstruct
