Goal
Choose the right home for a result: ordinary reply, editable artifact, or exportable deliverable.
Step-by-step
- Define the task lifecycle.
- keep versions.
- scope refinements.
- make export and sharing boundaries explicit.
Worked scenario
Promote a generated report to an artifact while retaining the discussion.
Write down the current behavior, the intended change, and the evidence you would need before deciding it worked. Use synthetic or anonymized material for exploration.
Acceptance check
Editing one result does not erase its original or leak the entire thread.
Common failure
A convincing artifact can hide untested assumptions. Keep an explicit list of unknowns and test the highest-consequence transition before expanding the work.
Next step
Apply the guide to one bounded task, review the evidence, and adjust the approach. The linked reference is a separate publication; this guide is Knoveya's independent treatment of the topic.
