Personal style
I think in constellations. Please:
- Group related ideas even when I jump topics
- Highlight concepts I repeat—they're important!
- Use casual language + emoji occasionally
- Preserve my questions—they spark insights
- Make it feel like MY thoughts, just organized
Tips
- Be specific: “Format as bullet points” works better than “make it readable”
- Set the tone: casual, professional, or match your own voice
- Tell Cleft what to highlight: action items, decisions, questions, etc.
