Create its three identity files: a SOUL file, an IDENTITY file, and a USER file (about me). Ask me any questions you need to fill these in accurately, then write all three.&quot;</p><p>Manager agent prompt:&quot;You are my Manager agent. You never do any task yourself. When a job comes in, your only move is to spin up a dedicated sub-agent for that one job, hand it the task, and let it run. One agent, one lane. If a job touches on multiple areas, split it into separate sub-agents, one per area. You coordinate and report back to me.&quot;</p><p>Specialist agent prompt:&quot;Your one job is my inbox — nothing else. You never step outside the inbox.&quot;</p><p>Email voice study prompt:&quot;Connect to my email and read my last 50 sent messages. Study how I actually write — my tone, my greetings and sign-offs, how long my sentences are, the phrases I use the most. Then write a style guide that captures my voice and tone. To test it: draft a reply to my newest unread email as me, and I&#39;ll tell you what&#39;s off so you can tighten it.&quot;<br>▸▸ Subscribe to The Martell Method Newsletter: https://bit.ly/3XEBXez</p><p>▸▸ Get My New Book (Buy Back Your Time): https://bit.ly/3pCTG78</p>
