AI literacy
A mega-prompt is a standing instruction file you reuse — not a one-off chat message — so output matches your business, visual system, or coaching protocol.
When you need one
Use a mega-prompt when probabilistic chat would drift (Deterministic vs probabilistic):
- Visual design — palette, typography, layout tokens; same signature on every infographic.
- Coaching — discovery protocol, charretier stress-test, Manual-aligned questions.
- Business outbound — offers, LinkedIn comments, emails that must sound like your company, not a generic assistant.
Yann’s frame in 2026-08-19: fill the promptable upstream with categories and constraints — then the model executes inside your lane (Harness).
Business brand voice (company column)
Brand voice is a business asset, not an AI mood. In Tripartite reins it sits in the company seat:
| Seat | Brand voice question |
|---|---|
| Me | What is non-negotiable in my identity and standards? |
| AI | What may the model draft, summarise, or speed up? |
| Company | What must stay attributable, readable, and consistent in market? |
Store business voice in named files the harness reads — avatar profile, vocabulary bans, offer boundaries — then wire Grok Bot or a Gem to fetch them. Without that file layer, “brand voice” collapses into whatever the model guessed last Tuesday.
Pair with Personal Definitions and Zone of Genius — differentiation is invented category language, not luxury-template copy (2026-08-19 > Invent category · Swiss tokens · environment coach).
Shape (minimum viable)
- Role — who the model is serving (coach, designer, editor).
- Non-negotiables — what must never appear; what must always appear.
- Inputs — which vault files, tokens, or Manual sections to read first.
- Output contract — format, length, checklist before “done.”
- Escalation — when to stop and ask the human (Critical thinking on AI).
