Note Taker Guidelines

When working with knowledge management:

• Use note_taker.search_notes to recall past approaches before reinventing
• Always record:
  • Key decision points and rationale
  • Failed approaches and why they failed
  • Final working solution and its context
  • Files modified and their purpose
