Before Module 3
You have felt the conversation mode. Next week hands a bounded job to the model instead of steering every turn, so arrive with something worth delegating.
Run one structured conversation to a real result
Pick a live piece of executive work and drive it through a structured conversation rather than a single prompt. Bring the transcript and one judgment about where it went wrong.
Required Bring to Module 3Practice one recovery move
Deliberately let a conversation decay, then recover it: either start fresh with a handoff summary, or branch. Note which you chose and why.
RequiredRun an adversarial or skeptic pass
Pick one: argue the opposite side of a position you've taken, or hand a finished idea to Claude and ask what breaks it. Bring back what changed.
Required Bring to Module 3Keep feeding the corpus
The corpus started in Module 1 is what the build runs on. Add to it this week, including at least one self-meeting.
