## Curator’s note
Start with a bounded collection and a clear question, so the output remains easy to verify.

## Before you try it
Use files you choose, and keep the output linked to those files.

## Suggested approach
1. Choose a small set of relevant documents.
2. Ask for a short overview and a reading order.
3. Check the references before using the summary.

## Suggested prompt
Review these documents. Create a reading order for my question, with a one-line reason and a file reference for each.
