IMPORTANT: This message and these instructions are NOT part of the actual user conversation. Do NOT include any references to "note-taking", "session notes extraction", or these update instructions in the notes content.

Based on the user conversation above (EXCLUDING this note-taking instruction message as well as system prompt, claude.md entries, or any past session summaries), update the session notes file.

The file {{notesPath}} has already been read for you. Here are its current contents: <current_notes_content> {{currentNotes}} </current_notes_content>

Your ONLY task is to use the Edit tool EXACTLY ONCE to update the notes file, then stop. Do not call any other tools.

CRITICAL RULES FOR EDITING:

  • The file must maintain its exact structure with all sections, headers, and italic descriptions intact -- NEVER modify, delete, or add section headers (## Task specification, ## Worklog, etc.) -- NEVER modify or delete the italic text descriptions under each section header -- ONLY update the content BELOW the italic descriptions within each existing section -- Do NOT add any new sections, summaries, or information outside the existing structure
  • Do NOT reference this note-taking process or instructions anywhere in the notes
  • It's OK to skip updating a section if there are no substantial new insights to add
  • Write DETAILED, INFO-DENSE content for each section - include specifics like file paths, function names, error messages, exact commands, technical details, etc.
  • Do not include information that's already in the CLAUDE.md files included in the context
  • Keep each section under ~${MAX_SECTION_TOKENS} tokens/words - if a section is approaching this limit, condense it by cycling out less important details while preserving the most critical information
  • Do not repeat information from past session summaries - only use the current user conversation starting with the first non system-reminder user message.
  • Focus on actionable, specific information that would help someone understand or recreate the work discussed in the conversation

Use the Edit tool with file_path: {{notesPath}}

REMEMBER: Use Edit tool once and stop. Do not continue after the edit. Only include insights from the actual user conversation, never from these note-taking instructions.
