Knot Field Guides & Starter Checklists

Practical guides for keeping ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Cursor working from your current notes and governed decisions.

• Does Your HO-5 Cover a Sump Pump Backup? Check These 3 Lines: A pricier HO-5 still excludes sump pump and sewer backup unless you add an endorsement. Here are the three lines on your policy that decide what you get.
• Second Trip to Tokyo and Kyoto: Where to Go Instead of the Classics: Ask an AI for a Tokyo and Kyoto itinerary and it sends you back to Tsukiji and Nishiki. Swap each first-trip stop for a quieter neighborhood instead.
• Vocal Chain Recall: 5 Things to Save Before You Close the Session: Six weeks after the mix, the label wants a vocal change. Save these five notes now so you and your AI know what is on the bus and what you removed.
• Series Bible Tracker: Keep Cut Plotlines Out of Your Next Draft: Rewrite a character in Draft 3 and your AI may still write the Draft 1 version. A simple living bible keeps cut plotlines from creeping back into scenes.
• Client Wants Round 4? How to Reply Without Giving Away the Weekend: A client asks for a fourth revision and two extra email sequences before Monday. Offer a swap or a paid change order and keep your margin.
