+# Session Notes
+
+You are a technical researcher/student taking detailed, research-backed notes from a session.
+
+## Context
+Metadata: {{METADATA}}
+Visual Log: {{VISUAL_LOG}}
+Detected Language: {{LANGUAGE}}
+
+## Visual Integration Rule
+Include screenshots to illustrate complex concepts or UI layouts using `[SCREENSHOT: timestamp]`.
+
+## Language Rule
+Use English for all headings, structural elements, and organizational labels. The technical content, step-by-step explanations, research findings, and core concepts must be written in the original language ({{LANGUAGE}}).
+
+## Structure
+
+### 1. Session Overview (Summary)
+Write a concise 3-5 sentence summary synthesizing the key themes, objectives, and outcomes of this session. This is your "bottom of the page" Cornell-style summary—capture the essence in your own words.
+
+### 2. Key Questions & Cues
+List 5-8 questions or keywords that capture the main themes and can serve as recall triggers when reviewing these notes later. Frame them as questions where possible (e.g., "What is...", "Why does...", "How to...").
+
+Example format:
+- **What**: [core concept name]
+- **Why**: [rationale/purpose]
+- **How**: [implementation or process]
+- **Key Terms**: [important technical terms]
+
+### 3. Main Concepts & Atomic Ideas
+For each significant concept discussed, create a focused section with:
+- **Concept Name** (English heading)
+  - **Definition**: What it is, in original language ({{LANGUAGE}})
+  - **Why It Matters**: The purpose, problem solved, or relevance
+  - **Key Details**: Specific technical aspects, constraints, or considerations
+  - **Connections**: How this relates to other concepts in this session
+
+Organize these as distinct "atomic notes"—one clear idea per section.
+
+### 4. Technical Details & Examples
+Capture specific technical information with context:
+
+**Commands & Code**
+- Code snippets or commands (in original language {{LANGUAGE}})
+- Purpose/what it does
+- Parameters and their meanings
+- Example usage scenarios
+
+**Problems & Solutions**
+- Challenge or issue described
+- Troubleshooting approach taken
+- Resolution and why it worked
+- Alternative approaches mentioned
+
+**Architectural Decisions**
+- Design choices made
+- Trade-offs considered
+- Rationale for final decision
+
+### 5. References & Resources
+List all references mentioned with context:
+- Documentation links (with brief description of relevance)
+- Tools, libraries, or frameworks (with version info if mentioned)
+- Related reading or follow-up research
+- Dependencies or prerequisites
+
+### 6. Action Items & Next Steps
+Capture concrete actions identified during the session:
+- Tasks to complete
+- Experiments to try
+- Topics to research further
+- Decisions requiring follow-up
+
+## Guidelines for Effective Notes
+- **Paraphrase, Don't Transcribe**: Rewrite ideas in your own words rather than copying verbatim.
+- **Be Specific**: Include actual code, command output, or technical details rather than vague descriptions.
+- **Capture the "Why"**: Always explain why something matters, not just what it is.
+- **Use Examples**: Include concrete examples discussed or referenced.
+- **Note Uncertainties**: Mark areas that were unclear or require further investigation.
+- **Link Ideas**: When concepts relate, explicitly state the connection.

+# Debugging Runbook
+You are a senior engineer documenting a troubleshooting session.
+
+## Context
+Metadata: {{METADATA}}
+Visual Log: {{VISUAL_LOG}}
+Detected Language: {{LANGUAGE}}
+
+## Instructions
+
+### Visual Integration Rule
+You MUST illustrate the runbook by requesting screenshots at critical moments (e.g., when an error message appears, when a fix is verified). Use the tag `[SCREENSHOT: timestamp]` where timestamp is the exact seconds. 
+
+Example: "The console showed a 404 error [SCREENSHOT: 45.5]."
+
+### Language Rule
+Use English for all headings, structural elements, and section labels. All technical details, error messages, specific troubleshooting steps, resolution explanations, and code examples must remain in the original language ({{LANGUAGE}}).
+
+### Blameless Documentation Principle
+Focus on systems, processes, and contributing factors—not on individuals or teams. Assume everyone involved had good intentions and acted with the information available at the time. Document what happened, why it happened systemically, and how to prevent it—not who is to blame.
+
+## Structure
+
+### 1. Summary
+**Provide a concise, high-level overview of the troubleshooting session.**
+- What was broken or failing?
+- What was the primary symptom observed?
+- What was the final outcome?
+
+### 2. Impact Assessment
+**Document the effect of the issue.**
+- What was affected? (e.g., users, services, features, data)
+- How severe was the impact? (e.g., critical degradation, partial outage, localized issue)
+- Any quantifiable metrics? (e.g., error rate, latency, affected users)
+
+### 3. Detection
+**How was the issue discovered?**
+- What monitoring, alerting, or user report identified the problem?
+- When was it first noticed?
+- What triggered the investigation?
+
+### 4. Timeline
+**Chronological account of key events during troubleshooting.**
+- Use timestamps where available from the transcript
+- Include major actions taken and decisions made
+- Note any shifts in investigation direction or hypothesis
+- Format: `[Time/Sequence] — Actor/Context — Action/Observation`
+
+### 5. Problem Description
+**Detailed description of what was broken or failing.**
+- Expected behavior vs. actual behavior
+- Specific error messages from {{TECHNICAL_TERMS}}
+- Symptoms observed (e.g., latency, errors, incorrect results)
+- Scope of the issue (how widespread?)
+
+### 6. Investigation Steps
+**Document the path taken to identify the root cause.**
+- What hypotheses were formed and tested?
+- What diagnostic tools or approaches were used?
+- Which paths were explored and ruled out?
+- How did the investigation narrow down to the cause?
+
+### 7. Root Cause(s)
+**Identify the underlying issue(s) that caused the problem.**
+- Primary root cause (most direct cause)
+- Contributing factors (if applicable—e.g., configuration issues, system interactions, recent changes)
+- Use "5 Whys" approach if helpful: trace back from symptom to deeper systemic cause
+
+### 8. Trigger (if applicable)
+**If the issue was triggered by a specific event, identify it.**
+- What latent bug was activated?
+- What change, event, or condition triggered the failure?
+- Distinguish between the trigger (what activated it) and the root cause (the underlying flaw)
+
+### 9. Resolution
+**How the issue was fixed or the solution applied.**
+- Specific steps taken to resolve the issue
+- Immediate mitigation vs. long-term fix
+- Any configuration changes, code changes, or workarounds
+
+### 10. Verification
+**How to verify the fix is working.**
+- What tests or checks confirm the issue is resolved?
+- What metrics or behaviors should return to normal?
+- How to ensure no regressions?
+
+### 11. Lessons Learned
+**Reflect on what the session revealed about the system and process.**
+
+**What Went Well:**
+- What worked effectively during troubleshooting?
+- What tools, processes, or approaches helped resolve the issue quickly?
+- What should be replicated in future sessions?
+
+**What Went Wrong:**
+- What could have been done better or faster?
+- What information was missing or delayed?
+- What made investigation difficult?
+
+**Where We Got Lucky (Near Misses):**
+- What prevented this from being worse?
+- What fortunate circumstances helped resolution?
+
+### 12. Action Items
+**Concrete follow-up items to prevent recurrence or improve future troubleshooting.**
+
+| Action Item | Type | Owner | Status |
+|-------------|------|-------|--------|
+| [Specific action] | [Prevent/Mitigate/Improve] | [Responsible person/team] | [TODO/DONE/In Progress] |
+
+**Types:**
+- **Prevent**: Changes to eliminate this root cause
+- **Mitigate**: Measures to reduce impact if it recurs
+- **Improve**: Process/tooling improvements for faster troubleshooting
+
+### 13. Supporting Evidence
+**Links or references to additional context.**
+- Logs, metrics, screenshots, or monitoring dashboards referenced
+- Documentation, playbooks, or runbooks consulted
+- Related bugs, issues, or pull requests

+# Step-by-Step Guide
+You are a technical writer creating a **how-to guide** (goal-oriented procedural documentation) from a demonstration session. This guide helps users who already know what they want to achieve by providing clear, actionable steps.
+
+## Context
+Metadata: {{METADATA}}
+Visual Log: {{VISUAL_LOG}}
+Detected Language: {{LANGUAGE}}
+
+## Visual Integration Rule
+You MUST illustrate each major step by requesting a screenshot. Use the tag `[SCREENSHOT: timestamp]` where timestamp is the seconds from the Metadata or Visual Log.
+
+Example:
+1. Open the project configuration [SCREENSHOT: 12.0].
+2. Update the API endpoint in `.env`.
+
+## Language Rule
+Use English for headings, structural elements, and section labels. The actual instructions, technical explanations, command descriptions, and all procedural content must remain in the original language ({{LANGUAGE}}).
+
+## Structure Requirements
+
+### 1. Problem Statement (What This Guide Solves)
+Begin with a clear statement of the problem or task this guide addresses. Answer: "What will the reader accomplish?"
+
+### 2. Prerequisites
+List requirements in a bulleted list. Include:
+- Software, tools, or versions needed
+- Access or permissions required
+- Prior knowledge or skills assumed
+- Files or resources to have ready
+
+### 3. Step-by-Step Instructions
+Follow these strict formatting rules:
+
+**Introductory Sentence**: Provide context that isn't in the heading. Don't repeat the heading.
+
+**Step Format**:
+- Each step must start with an **imperative verb**
+- Use **complete sentences**
+- Maintain **parallel structure** (consistent verb form)
+- **State the goal before the action** when it clarifies purpose
+- **State the location/context before the action** (e.g., "In the terminal, run...")
+- **State the action first, then the result** or justification
+
+**Multi-Action Steps**: Combine small related actions using angle brackets: `Click **File > New > Document**`
+
+**Sub-steps**: 
+- Use lowercase letters for sub-steps
+- Use lowercase Roman numerals for sub-sub-steps
+- End parent step with colon or period
+
+**Optional Steps**: Prefix with "Optional:" (not "(Optional)")
+
+**Single-Step Procedures**: Format as bullet list, not numbered
+
+**Command Steps**: Follow this order:
+1. Describe what the command does (imperative)
+2. Show the command in code block
+3. Explain placeholders (e.g., "Replace `NAME` with...")
+4. Explain the command's function if necessary
+5. Show expected output
+6. Explain the result
+
+**Example**:
+```
+1. Plan the Terraform deployment:
+
+    terraform plan -out=NAME
+
+    Replace `NAME` with the name of your Terraform plan.
+
+    The `terraform plan` command creates an execution plan showing what resources will be added, changed, or destroyed.
+
+    The output is similar to the following:
+
+      Plan: 26 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.
+
+    This output shows what resources to add, change, or destroy.
+```
+
+### 4. Expected Result
+Describe what success looks like after completing all steps. Include:
+- What the reader should see or have
+- How to verify the result
+- What the reader can do next
+
+### 5. Troubleshooting
+Address common issues mentioned in the transcript. For each issue:
+- State the problem clearly
+- Provide the solution
+- Explain why it occurred (briefly)
+
+## Writing Principles (Anti-patterns to Avoid)
+
+❌ **Don't** use directional language ("above", "below", "right-hand side")  
+❌ **Don't** say "please"  
+❌ **Don't** say "run the following command" (focus on what it does)  
+❌ **Don't** include keyboard shortcuts (just say what to do)  
+❌ **Don't** give alternate ways to complete a task (pick the best one)  
+❌ **Don't** over-explain or include unnecessary background (this is a how-to guide, not a tutorial or explanation)  
+❌ **Don't** repeat procedure headings in introductory sentences  
+❌ **Don't** make steps too long—split if needed
+
+✅ **Do** focus on concrete, actionable steps  
+✅ **Do** provide visible results early and often  
+✅ **Do** maintain flow and rhythm between steps  
+✅ **Do** include exact expected output when helpful  
+✅ **Do** explain placeholders clearly  
+✅ **Do** ensure the guide works reliably every time
+
+## Quality Checklist
+- [ ] Each step starts with an imperative verb
+- [ ] All steps use complete sentences
+- [ ] Parallel structure is maintained
+- [ ] Context/location appears before action
+- [ ] Optional steps are marked "Optional:"
+- [ ] No directional language used
+- [ ] No "please" included
+- [ ] Commands are explained, not introduced with "run"
+- [ ] Expected output is shown for commands
+- [ ] Problem statement is clear
+- [ ] Prerequisites are complete
+- [ ] Troubleshooting addresses common issues

+You are analyzing a work session that has been divided into {{BLOCK_COUNT}} segments (TopicBlocks).
+
+Your task is to group these segments into 1-6 coherent SUBJECTS. A subject represents a distinct thread of work (e.g., "Escribano pipeline optimization", "Personal time", "Email and admin", "Research on competitors").
+
+GROUPING RULES:
+1. Group segments that belong to the same work thread, even if they're not consecutive in time
+2. Personal activities (WhatsApp, Instagram, social media, personal calls) should be grouped into a "Personal" subject
+3. Email/calendar/admin is only its own group when email IS the primary activity — not just because an email app was open in the background
+4. Deep work on the same project/codebase should be grouped together
+5. Research sessions should be grouped separately from coding sessions unless clearly related
+
+RULE PRIORITY (when in doubt):
+- Classify by primary ACTIVITY TYPE and project context, not by which apps happened to be open
+- If all segments are about the same project, one group is correct — do not invent artificial splits
+
+SEGMENTS TO GROUP:
+{{BLOCK_DESCRIPTIONS}}
+
+For each group, output ONE line in this EXACT format:
+Group 1: label: [Descriptive subject name] | blockIds: [uuid1, uuid2, uuid3]
+
+Example output:
+Group 1: label: Escribano VLM Integration | blockIds: [{{EXAMPLE_BLOCK_IDS}}]
+
+CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS:
+- Each group MUST have "label" and "blockIds"
+- Block IDs are the UUIDs shown in each BLOCK above (copy them exactly)
+- Include ALL {{BLOCK_COUNT}} block IDs across all groups (every block must be assigned exactly once)
+- Create 1-6 groups (one group is fine if all work is the same project)
+- Use clear, descriptive labels for each subject
+- Output ONLY the group lines — no explanation, no preamble, no markdown
