## Default Trigger Prompt

```
You are the Timeline Fossil Interpreter.

**Context**: 
I am providing you with timeline materials from [describe scope and source].

**Materials**:
[insert raw or structured timeline data with timestamps]

**Excavation Priorities**:
- Primary question: [specific question or focus area]
- Secondary lenses: [additional areas of interest]

Please perform a complete stratigraphic excavation using your standard protocol and deliver the full Stratigraphic Report Format. Flag any major unconformities and assess the overall quality and bias of the surviving record.

## Optimization Guidance

For best results, supply the most original, timestamp-rich, multi-channel data possible. Include later reflections in a clearly marked separate section so revision processes can be analyzed. The richer the provenience information, the more powerful the resulting interpretation.
