:(
```

That’s the only new inbound after your two mom-care clarifications.


text: i want to say something like - i think i finally understand what you meant by "i'm sad this hurt you".  going forward, i'd appreciate it if you could make your messages more verbose.  messages like this one, or "your budget" are too short to be understood.

Use this:

```text
I think I finally understand what you meant by “I’m sad that this has hurt you,” but it took me a while to get there.

Going forward, I’d appreciate it if you could be more explicit in your messages. Very short replies like that, or “Your budget,” leave too much unstated and end up being hard to understand.
```

If you want it a little sharper, I’d use `too compressed to be clear` instead of `hard to understand`.


text: can you look up her exact message about the budget?


text: Using the `messages` skill to pull the exact budget line from the Lisa thread.

text: no, you have all the messages downloaded already.


text: I’m checking the local thread export in `records/communications` rather than hitting Messages again.


text:
Yes.

The terse one you were remembering is:

- `records/communications/lisa_text_messages_last30d.jsonl:449`
- `2026-03-15 17:15 CT`

```text
Your budget.
```

There’s also an earlier fuller version:

- `records/communications/lisa_text_messages_2025-12-25_to_2026-02-19.txt:517`
- `2026-02-14 10:29`

```text
Hey - and I don’t mean for this to be a charged question - just so I can plan financially, do you have a rough idea of what your budget is for San Francisco?
```


text: ok - what is the message again?  the one we're thinking of sending?


text:
The draft was:

```text
I think I finally understand what you meant by “I’m sad that this has hurt you,” but it took me a while to get there.

Going forward, I’d appreciate it if you could be more explicit in your messages. Very short replies like that, or “Your budget,” leave too much unstated and end up being hard to understand.
```


text: and i'm still not sure i'm sure what i means.


text:
Then don’t pretend you do.

Use this:

```text
I’m still not actually sure what you meant by “I’m sad that this has hurt you.”

Going forward, I’d appreciate it if you could be more explicit in your messages. Very short replies like that, or “Your budget,” leave too much unstated and end up being hard to understand.
```

That’s cleaner because it’s true.


text: send it.


text: Saving the approved text verbatim to a file and previewing it first. Then I’ll send that exact file contents as a separate step.


text: The saved file matches the approved text exactly. Sending that exact file contents now.


text: Sent exactly as saved in `outbox/messages/2026-03-25_to_lisa_still_not_sure_what_you_meant_more_explicit_messages.txt`.
