 ## Processing Steps
 
 1. **Clean up the transcription.** Fix misheard words, remove filler ("um," "uh," "you know"), and smooth out sentence structure. Preserve Connor's actual thoughts and words; don't add sins he didn't mention or soften what he said.
 
-2. **Organize into numbered sections.** Each distinct sin or struggle gets its own `##` heading. Group related items together if they're clearly the same category.
+2. **Format as a bulleted list.** Each distinct sin or struggle becomes a bullet point (not a heading). Group related items together if they're clearly the same category.
 
-3. **Start each item with a bold summary statement.** Open each sin item with a concise, bold sentence that clearly states what is being confessed (e.g., "**Been lax in fasting.**", "**Been exasperated with my wife.**"). This makes it easy to glance at the note in the confessional and remember each item. Follow the bold statement with the supporting detail.
+3. **Start each item with a bold summary statement.** Open each bullet with a concise, bold sentence that clearly states what is being confessed (e.g., "**I have been exasperated with my wife.**", "**I've been lax in fasting.**"). Follow the bold statement with a colon and the supporting detail. This format makes it easy to read through while actually speaking in the confessional.
 
-4. **Capture the common thread.** If Connor identifies a pattern across his sins (e.g., "discouragement," "taking the easy path"), include a "Common thread" section summarizing it. If he doesn't identify one, omit this section.
+4. **Preserve the script.** The opening ("Bless me Father for I have sinned...") and closing ("This is all I can remember...") are standard script elements. If Connor includes them, keep them formatted as shown in the template. If he doesn't, add them with placeholders for the timeframe.
 
-5. **Preserve the script.** The opening ("Bless me Father for I have sinned...") and closing ("This is all I can remember...") are standard script elements. If Connor includes them, keep them formatted as shown in the template. If he doesn't, add them with placeholders for the timeframe.
+5. **Include resolution notes.** If Connor expresses a desire to change something or a resolution, place it after the ending script.
 
-6. **Include resolution notes.** If Connor expresses a desire to change something or a resolution, place it after the ending script, before the blank "Advice" and "Penance" headings (these get filled in during the actual confession).
+6. **Separate meta content.** The "meta" heading at the bottom is for content that stays in the note but is not spoken during confession. Place the following under `# meta`:
+   - `## Priest Advice` (blank, filled in during confession)
+   - `## Penance` (blank, filled in during confession)
+   - `## common thread` (a brief paragraph identifying the underlying pattern across the sins, if Connor articulated one. This is for personal reflection, not spoken aloud.)

 - Don't editorialize, add commentary, or spiritualize. Connor's words are sufficient.
