**Establish shared direction, constraints, and understanding.**

### Correct Me If I'm Wrong

> You're briefing a team and you say, "The contract expires in October." A colleague mutters, "November." You say, "Right, November," and keep going. The correction lands without derailing the brief.

Line-edit the agent's chain of thought without stopping the request.

The agent streams its chain of thought. You catch a line that's off and edit it in place. The agent absorbs the correction and keeps going. The prompt never restarts.

**Foundations:** Coach, Align

### Just Need Your Input

> A colleague drafts a document in ink where they're sure and in pencil where they need your input. You see the pencil marks and fill them in.

Parts of the agent's work shimmer until you give it the context it's missing.

The agent drafts content. Sections it's unsure about render in light grey with a shimmer. You add context and the shimmering sections settle into place.

**Foundations:** Align, Communicate

### What Would They Think?

> When you write something, you think about how it'll land with the person reading it. You try to see it through their frame of reference.

Ask the agent to see your work through a colleague's eyes.

You ask the agent to look at the content through a specific person's perspective. The agent finds what it knows about them and reorganizes the content around their point of view.

**Foundations:** Align, Communicate
