Sharpen vague cues through progressive refinement by

Sharpen vague cues through progressive refinement by answering four questions: What specific action precedes this? Where exactly will I be? What sensory signal can I anchor to? What decisions remain unresolved?

Why This Is a Principle

This principle derives from Implementation intentions (if-then plans) significantly (implementation intentions), Externalization Exposes Hidden Structure (externalization exposes gaps), and Automatic Fusion of Observation and Interpretation (humans fuse observation with interpretation). It prescribes a systematic refinement process for cue design. It's procedural guidance derived from specification requirements.

Cue specificity matters

Vague cues produce inconsistent activation — make cues as specific as possible.
