  "title": "Collect chunks around real language jobs",
  "summary": "Sometimes the useful unit is bigger than a word.",
  "kind": "protocol",
  "body": "Capture recurring multiword sequences that perform a real job: frame a contrast, hedge a claim, ask for clarification, signal consequence, summarize a position or manage a turn. Record the phrase with context, register and one variable slot if it has one. Retrieve it as a whole, then vary the surrounding sentence so it becomes a reusable pattern rather than a frozen quotation.",
  "limits": [
    "Avoid collecting decorative idioms simply because they look advanced. Frequency, usefulness and contextual fit matter more than novelty."

      "claim": "Formulaic sequences are an important part of L2 processing and communication and can be acquired through meaning-focused activity, although productive mastery requires more than noticing a phrase once.",

  "example": "Learn 'What I am trying to get at is ...' as a clarification move, then use it with several technical and everyday topics.",
