Start with real inputs
Give the assistant the relevant scope, recent updates, and concrete observations. A vague prompt produces a vague report, regardless of the model.
Draft the state, not theater
Ask for what changed, what remains uncertain, and what decision is needed. Avoid generic progress language that makes a stationary scope sound active.
Review before publishing
The scope owner should correct the draft and choose the hill position. Hillchart stores the resulting update with the scope, where the team can use it.
