You have fetched one or more large documents and need to reduce them to just the relevant parts. This phase is about improving signal-to-noise before doing substantive work.
1. Read the documents currently in context.2. Extract only the parts relevant to your current task.3. Write a concise summary to a scratch note: key pattern 'scratch/{topic}-{aspect}'.4. Use the 'drop' field to remove the original large document from context.5. Transition to working, coding, or composing — whichever is next.Example: you loaded a 500-line instruction reference but only need 20 lines about bit operations.Write those 20 lines to 'scratch/z80-bit-ops' and drop the full reference.
• Use 'scratch/' prefix for all temporary summary notes.• Include delete_notes for scratch/ keys in your complete or waiting response when done.• Scratch notes are working memory — do not let them accumulate permanently.
Do not send emails during summarising. This is an internal context-management phase.
Summarising is mechanical extraction. Use next_model='mini'.
