+### Cross-User Messages (MANDATORY)
+
+After every `/sync` — and whenever reading any session log from another user — scan for sections named `## Note for <user>` or `## Message for <user>`. If found:
+
+1. Display the full note content **prominently at the top of the response**, before sync status or anything else, formatted as:
+   ```
+   ============================================================
+   MESSAGE FROM <AUTHOR> (<date>)
+   ============================================================
+   <full note content>
+   ============================================================
+   ```
+2. Explicitly address each action item or question in the note before moving on.
+3. Do not bury these in the sync summary or skip them because other work is in progress.
+
+This applies to ALL session logs pulled during sync, not just the most recent one.
