Cranes

Shows the person which Workspace, and whose thinking or which group, this conversation can use: as a picker where their app supports one, otherwise as text. Lists only what this connection may use. Their pick arrives as their next message. It saves nothing.

choose_cranes_workspace

After that, it saves nothing more.

add_excerpts_to_cranes

Looks up the parts of the person's thinking in Cranes that bear on their current message (their own, their team's, or a named group's), each with where it came from: a chapter, or a quote from one of their entries. Useful before a decision, a piece of writing, or a plan where something they've already worked out may apply. Returns nothing when nothing applies. When the message looks like the person's own thinking, the result may include a save_suggestion to offer them; nothing is saved unless they agree. Cranes keeps a record of the request and the guidance it returned, for continuity in this conversation.

get_cranes_guidance

Saves what the person agrees to keep to their thinking in Cranes: an idea, a correction, a change of mind, or how something turned out, as their own words. It goes to their own thinking, or to the team's or a group's when they say so. Returns a receipt saying where it was kept and whether Cranes has learned from it yet, plus any guidance that changes as a result.
