Vague watcher → compare sources
Weak instruction — Vague watcher
Contrast only — not for copying.
Watch these sites and tell me if anything important changes.
Compare only the sources I name. Do not watch the open web.
Sources (only these):
- {{source_a}}
- {{source_b}}
Cadence: {{cadence|weekly}}
Decision this comparison supports: {{decision}}
Deliver:
1) Table: Topic | Source A says | Source B says | Match?
2) Conflicts (quote lightly)
3) Gaps in either source
4) What changed since the last brief, if I attached one
5) Recommendation options — do not decide for me
Done when the named topics are covered and every claim has a source URL.
Do not email, post, or overwrite files.Why it wins
A vague watcher produces noise or silence because “important” is undefined. A compare-sources routine names the pages, the cadence, and the decision, so you get a reusable table. Pair with the Compare documents workflow. Examples are illustrative.
