SMARTER USAGE · INMC
Bring the context that matters.
Keep related work together. For a different objective, carry over a short handoff instead of the whole conversation.
USE INCodex or Claude Code
Before you start
- The current objective and the relevant sources.
- Decisions already made and evidence already checked.
How to use it
- Ask the current conversation for a short handoff.
- Review the handoff for missing decisions or unsupported claims.
- Paste it into the next conversation with the specific new objective.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
Make it concrete.
Move from fixing a sign-in bug to updating its help page. Carry over the verified behavior and relevant files, rather than every debugging message.
Check the result
- Verified facts and assumptions are separate.
- The handoff fits 200 words.
- Credentials and unrelated history are excluded.
