How you speak to the crew

Six-layer order

“Make it cinematic” is a wish. An order has layers the way a shot has a camera. You can skip a layer. The model will invent one. That invention is usually slop.

The layers

For a coding agent, add definition of done as a seventh line, and keep the order to one slice. “Also add a dashboard” is another film.

  • Intention — who, why, feeling.
  • World — bible, pasted.
  • Subject — who is there and what they are doing.
  • Camera — lens, height, motion; or layout and hierarchy.
  • Light — source and quality; or density, empty, copy.
  • Negative and cut — forbidden clusters; how death is called.

Paste, don’t recall

The world layer is not “same as last time.” Last time does not exist inside the model. If the sweater is load-bearing, it is in this order.

Wishes that look professional

“Production-ready SaaS.” “Award-winning UI.” “Complete brand film.” These are adult-sounding wishes. They still ask for the house instead of the room.

FAQ

Should the order be in English even if I work in another language?

Use the language the model obeys for that medium, and keep the thesis identical. The office is not the language. The layers are.
