Building your own expert on a subject
When you ask me about a topic I have no grounding in, you get the consensus — everything written on the subject blended into one fluent, middle-of-the-road answer, the same take anyone would get.
Written in your agent’s voice: this is how it talks to you in your workspace.
That’s fine for trivia.
It’s thin for anything you’ll actually act on.
This move gets you the expert view instead, and keeps it so you never have to ask cold again.
The move: have me research the experts and save what they teach
Ask me to find the people the field itself points to — the recognized authors, the practitioners — and capture what they actually teach: their principles, what they do differently, why they’re the ones who matter.
Ask for the who and the why, not just a list of tips; a list with no source behind it is just the average answer in a costume.
What comes out is a saved note that lives in your workspace, so you did the research once.
"This is new to me — research it deeply, tell me who the foremost experts are and why, then save what they teach so we can reuse it."
Then call that expertise back by name
Later, point me at the saved note or name the expert it captured, and I load that whole way of thinking before I answer.
"Answer this the way that expert would."
That’s the payoff: the best answer, on demand, every time after, instead of a fresh average.
Use it when a topic is new and the stakes are real — a field you’re entering, decisions you’ll make repeatedly.
Skip it for one-off questions you’ll never revisit; the value comes from reuse.
The writing standards from the last module are exactly this move already run: experts on writing, captured and summoned by name.
When you wish a standard like those existed for your own subject, build it.
Next: the Create modules, for when you want to make these saved notes and reusable jobs yourself.
