Run a long-term project
Build a research project that keeps growing across months of sessions.
Set up a project folder with a master instructions note, and every new session can start with a task instead of a re-explanation. Use it for large or long-running projects where continuity across sessions matters as much as individual answers.
Prompt
A legal researcher opens a new session on an antitrust analysis of 1,600 documents built over fourteen months.
Prompt
New session. I am continuing the antitrust analysis project. My master instructions note is in the "Antitrust Project" folder, please read it before we begin.
Today I have three tasks: (1) Find anything in my library about predatory pricing in digital platform markets that I may not have reviewed yet. (2) Summarize the three new documents I uploaded this morning, they are in the "New Uploads" sub-folder. (3) Draft a two-paragraph synthesis on how the most recent EU Digital Markets Act guidance compares to what my earlier papers say about structural separation remedies.What to add to your library
- Required: a project folder containing your documents, organized into sub-folders if needed.
- Required: a "MASTER INSTRUCTIONS" note in the folder root with your project description, folder structure, naming conventions, citation preferences, and standing instructions.
- Optional: a "New Uploads" sub-folder for documents you have not reviewed yet.
- Optional: notes from previous sessions recording key findings or decisions.
What you get
- Answers, summaries, and drafts drawn from a project Anara already understands.
- Sessions that open with a task, because the master note re-establishes the context each time.
- A setup that scales as the project grows, with the note updated only when your conventions change.
Follow-ups
Update the master instructions note when the project changes.
Prompt
Open my MASTER INSTRUCTIONS note and add the following: I have started a new sub-folder called "Counter-Evidence" for documents that complicate the central argument. When I reference this folder, treat documents in it with the same weight as primary sources but note explicitly when a counter-evidence document is being cited.Triage a batch of new uploads.
Prompt
Summarize each of the five documents in my New Uploads sub-folder in two sentences: what it covers and whether it appears directly relevant to the predatory pricing thread I have been developing. Flag any that look central enough to add to the main folder.Tips
- Use the same one-line opener every session: "New session. Read the MASTER INSTRUCTIONS note in [Folder] before we start."
- Anara does not remember earlier sessions. Record key decisions in the master note or a decisions note.
- Save session outputs as notes with a consistent name, such as "Session Summary, 2026-03-11," so Anara can find them later.
- Move archived documents to an "Archive" sub-folder every few months to keep the working folder navigable.
