Not a copilot.
A copilot stays open. A lyte closes. Four fields, one stance, seventy-two hours. If it needs a thread, it isn’t a lyte.
Decision instrument
Everyone has an assistant. Almost no one has a stopping rule. A lyte is one unit of clarity — then you move.
Instrument
Write a situation you are in. Not a prompt. The instrument returns four fields and a stance — then it stops.
Your lyte lands here.
Why now
In 2026 the models are close enough. Copilots sit beside the work and keep talking. Agents add a second inbox. The scarce thing is knowing when to stop generating and act.

Signal is what is true. Noise is what looks like work. The move is the next physical action. Watch is how this fails.
Field notes are authored. Custom situations are cast by Grok 4.6 when a key is bound — still a lyte, never a chat log.
