Workflow Improvement Commitments

Surfacing options before action — Config changes that affect multiple bots should prompt: "This applies globally. Want per-bot overrides?" before flipping switches.

Summary-first diagnostics — Model probes, health checks, and debugging output should start with the conclusion, then offer details on request. No more raw "Failed. Trying X. Failed. Trying Y." streams unless asked.

Scope-check before broad research — Before going deep on a question or issue, confirm: "Full search or just the top result?"

What Matt likes:
- Precise, conditional instructions ("check X, if Y do Z")
- Fast corrections when I get something wrong
- Loose directives that let me figure out the approach
- Scope discipline — tight sessions with clear boundaries
- Short, intent-clear messages

Current session: Telegram streaming set to off globally (2026-05-05 ~01:00 UTC). Per-bot override option surfaced for next time.
