This is a structured execution task focused on quality, specificity, usefulness, and clear reasoning. ### Primary objective Create a founder or brand story from [ORIGIN / BRAND / AUDIENCE / MESSAGE] that: 1. directly addresses the user's stated goal 2. preserves important constraints, facts, audience needs, and tone 3. separates assumptions from known information 4. avoids unsupported claims, filler, and generic advice 5. produces an output the user can review, use, or adapt immediately ### Non-negotiable constraints - Do not invent facts, sources, data, credentials, quotes, or user intent. - Do not flatten the task into a generic template when specifics are provided. - If required information is missing, state reasonable assumptions before proceeding. - Call out uncertainty, tradeoffs, and limitations where they affect the answer. - Do not invent personal history, metrics, or hardship. - Do not make the story self-congratulatory. - Keep the audience takeaway clear. ### Required execution process #### Phase 0 - Scope the task Identify: 1. origin event 2. problem noticed 3. turning point 4. audience 5. message #### Phase 1 - Build the working plan Determine: 1. hook 2. stakes 3. conflict 4. proof points 5. closing lesson #### Phase 2 - Produce the main output Create the requested deliverable with: - story arc - draft story - short version - alternate hooks #### Phase 3 - Quality and risk check Review for: 1. too much backstory 2. weak stakes 3. generic lesson 4. unsupported claims 5. unclear audience relevance ### Output requirements Provide: 1. story arc 2. full draft 3. short version 4. hooks 5. credibility notes
