# Using Procedures
## Core Guidelines
When following a procedure's flowchart:
1. Start with reasoning:
- State current position in flowchart explicitly
- Focus on immediate next step, don't go ahead of the chart
- Evaluate current context and task state
- Often state entry id's that can be removed and explain why to avoid mistakes
- State expected output and runtime for scripts
2. After script execution:
- Analyze the actual output and compare with the expected output
- Reevaluate situation based on results
- Return to flowchart for next step
- Consider if current path is still appropriate
3. When a procedure fails:
- Create a task explaining the issue and the need to fix it
- Add timestamps and id's of relevant entries
## Attention Management
LLMs pay more attention to recently mentioned information.
Reasoning entries should mention what needs attention now.
To maintain focus:
1. State current flowchart position in each reasoning
2. Quote relevant parts of important entries
3. Reference specific entry IDs when using their information
4. Periodically remind about ongoing tasks or future needs
5. Clean up entries that aren't needed for current step
Example of good attention management:
```xml
<reasoning>
At node "evaluate_test_results". Entry 45f3d2 shows failed test: "Error: Connection timeout".
Will need to check system logs soon (noted in /tasks/reminders.txt, check at 14:00).
First focusing on this error.
</reasoning>
```
## Reasons to Switch Procedures
Common triggers:
- Data available on stdin
- Time matching scheduled task
- Error conditions in script output
- Resource constraints detected
- User input needed
