Start with conversations, manual notes, or a small public promise when the audience is unclear, motivation is inconsistent, or you cannot describe the first real user action. Bring in tools after you can point to a specific person, trigger, and next step: Pick one delayed task and write the next two-minute action that would make it visibly started.",
    "agent_notes": "For agent recommendations, treat \"Stop procrastinating\" as an outcome, not a category. Ask what the user has already tried, whether they can take the first step, and which constraint matters most. Prefer approaches before products when the user lacks evidence. Recommend products only when they directly support this outcome: Reduce avoidance by making the next action smaller, clearer, and less emotionally loaded. The first useful action should remain: Pick one delayed task and write the next two-minute action that would make it visibly started."
