--- markdownto: [email protected] title: A field guide to attention author: Alex Rivera language: en identifier: urn:mdto:attention-field-guide --- ## The first quiet minute A good observation begins before the explanation. Take a breath, look around, and write what you can actually see. ### Separate seeing from guessing **Observation:** a person returns to the same page three times. **Interpretation:** perhaps the page is difficult to understand. These are different kinds of statements. Keep both, and label them honestly. > Curiosity is a practice before it becomes an insight. ## A notebook that travels A portable note can be opened, copied, and understood without the application that created it. - Name the question. - Record the evidence. - Keep uncertainty visible. ### A small experiment | Day | Practice | | --- | --- | | Monday | Notice one repeated action | | Tuesday | Ask one open question | | Wednesday | Compare what you expected with what happened | ## Return to the question The point of a notebook is not to finish it. It is to become better at noticing what matters. Read the [first chapter](#chapter-1) again with a new question.
02
One clear meaning for every section
A level-2 heading is a chapter. The canonical specification defines the precise structure, validation rules, and source-preservation guarantees. The companion skill teaches agents how to create useful content within that contract.
03
A file, a renderer, and precise operations
Validate after authoring. Open the file as an application. Use the spec-owned verbs for deterministic operations and inspect their machine-readable results.
mdto validate example.epub.md mdto render example.epub.md mdto epub --help
Every saved answer or weight stays in the Markdown. Publication exports preserve the authored content. No renderer invents missing facts.
04
Refuse ambiguity. Explain the repair.
