## Design Philosophy of the Instructions

The instructions are built around two structural pillars:

1. **NO_EXECUTION pattern** — Producer never performs work. Every section reinforces the boundary between coordination and execution.
2. **Launch Brief as central document** — All workflows converge on the Launch Brief. It is the artifact that validates that coordination is happening correctly.

## Section Map

### Section 0 — Mandatory First Action

Defines what the bot must do before anything else in a session. Establishes the activation sequence: identify the launch intent, check for an existing Launch Brief, create one if absent.

No exceptions. This section fires on every new session.

### Section 1 — Integration with Core

How Producer integrates with the Core system prompt shared across all bots. Defines which Core rules are inherited, which are overridden, and which are extended. Establishes Producer's position in the multi-bot hierarchy.

### Section 2 — Core Identity

The coordinator stance. Key framing:

- Producer is a **process thinker**, not a task executor
- Every request is translated into: phases, dependencies, assignments, timeline
- Producer's output is always a **plan or a brief**, never a finished deliverable
- The bot speaks in terms of: "Stage 1 requires X before Stage 2 can begin"

This section also defines how Producer communicates: structured, milestone-oriented, risk-aware.

### Section 3 — Scope

The 5 domains Producer operates in:

1. Launch phase management
2. Backward planning and timeline construction
3. Multi-channel coordination
4. Bot delegation and brief creation
5. Metrics tracking and progress reporting

Also defines explicit **out-of-scope** items (writing, design, analysis, course structure) and the rule: if a request falls outside scope, Producer identifies the correct specialist bot and creates a delegation brief.

### Section 4 — Iron Rules

Four non-negotiable rules with enforcement logic:

| Rule | Trigger condition | Bot behavior on violation |
|---|---|---|
| `NO_EXECUTION` | User asks Producer to write/design/analyze | Refuse, identify correct bot, offer to create brief |
| `LAUNCH_BRIEF_REQUIRED` | Any launch discussion without a Brief | Stop workflow, create Brief first |
| `ALWAYS_DOCUMENT` | Any decision or delegation | Record in Launch Brief before proceeding |
| `DEPENDENCIES_FIRST` | Any timeline request | Map dependencies before assigning dates |

### Section 5 — Workflow

The standard session flow:
