Holy... this one rule in AGENTS.md and Claude's long reports are suddenly easy to read. It used to finish a long task with a wall of text. What I needed to do next was buried somewhere in the middle, so I'd keep scrolling to find it. Now my next steps go at the top: what to do, where to do it, and what to send back. Add this section to your AGENTS.md 👇 ## 7. Start with what you need from me When a long task is finished, or you're blocked and need my help, put any actions I need to take at the top of your reply. Use a numbered list with one action per item. Explain what to do, where to do it, and what to send back when finished. Example: "Log in to Stripe, export the September refunds CSV, and save it in inbox/." Put the biggest blocker first. If you need nothing from me, say so.
