The Method · Inside the system

The Method in full

Train the AI before you ask it to perform.

Every output is a performance of the brief that preceded it. The Method translates a century of rehearsal-room discipline into a working system for directing AI across creative, technical and commercial production.

“Given the circumstances, do the truth.”Konstantin Stanislavski

A prompt functions as script and cue; the response, as performance. Phrasing refines it. Direction changes it.

The foundation Stanislavski's system, Meisner's repetition, Strasberg's sense memory, Adler's imagination, Chekhov's psychological gesture and Hagen's nine questions: a century of rehearsal practice, rebuilt as procedures a model can execute and a practitioner can audit. Direction becomes a craft anyone can learn, not a specialism reserved for engineers.
The backbone

The Method Prompt Framework

Eleven elements that turn a one-line request into a fully directed brief. Every prompt, agent and workflow in the system is authored and audited against them.

Rehearsal backbones

Six disciplines, codified

Each master's technique is a distinct preparation engine, applied before a single word is generated. Selection depends on the nature of the task; Hagen serves as the most complete default.

Disciplines

Inside each track

One method, calibrated to six fields of work. Each track's library covers the following, paired with the backbone the moment calls for.

The production arc

Seven acts, one sequence

From defining the objective to refining the system: the same sequence governs an audition and a product launch.

Configurable variables

Variable packs

Parameterised slots that plug into any prompt. One variable, many values: a single prompt is re-run in whichever tradition or method the task demands.

Company build

The agent suite

Every backbone is deployed as an agent. A Director classifies the task and routes it to the right specialist; each specialist runs one discipline and honours a shared output contract, so agents chain into production workflows.

Orchestrator

The Director

Routes rather than solves. The task is classified, the backbone and domain track are selected, a one-line brief is written and the work is handed off. Every request enters the suite here.

The full system prompt for each agent comes with membership. The Founder plan includes the whole suite. See plans

The shared output contract
Take→Critique→Adjust→Continuity

Every agent, whatever its discipline, delivers a first take, identifies its weakest point, corrects it and declares what carries forward. One agent's Continuity becomes the next agent's brief: a company, not six unrelated prompts.
