What are Operator Notes?
Operator Notes store reusable work guidance and preferences that should apply across tasks or sessions.
Core Idea
In Short
Operator Notes store reusable work guidance and preferences that should apply across tasks or sessions.
What belongs here?
- Stores reusable user preferences, research rules, environment notes, and work conventions.
- Lets agents search matching notes by task terms before taking action.
- Keeps global guidance separate from Browser Memory, PKS, OK, and ETM.
Typical contents
Operator Notes fit statements such as "check two sources for pricing research", "keep support replies factual and concise", or "do not include unverified numbers for this customer".
Read before acting
Agents should consider matching Operator Notes at the beginning of a task. A note still does not replace the current user instruction and cannot trigger a sensitive action by itself.
Maintenance
Notes can be stored, searched, listed, and deleted. Important notes should be short, concrete, and tagged with useful terms.
