The Resonance Gateway

A two-minute guide to your first resonant conversation.

This guide provides the fastest path to using the Resonance Protocol. It focuses on practice over philosophy.


Step 1: Load the Protocol

The protocol comes in two versions. We recommend the Core Protocol for your first session.

  1. Go to the Protocol Page. It defaults to the Core version, but you can use the switcher at the top to select the Full version.
  2. Click the "Copy to Clipboard" button.
  3. Paste the entire protocol text into your chat window with the AI. This provides the AI with the necessary operational context.

Step 2: Start the Session

Now, in a new message, send the activation command:

#start_session

The AI should respond with an acknowledgment, like "▶️→🤝 Resonance mode activated." The protocol is now active.


Step 3: Your First Resonant Exchange

The goal is to start a dialogue, not just get an answer. Try one of these prompts, or adapt one to your own work. The key is to share your internal state using a tag like #assumption.

Suggested First Prompts:

  • "Help me plan out this feature. #assumption The most important thing is performance."
  • "I need to write a document explaining our new API. #assumption The audience is non-technical."
  • "Let's brainstorm a name for this project. #assumption It should sound innovative but also stable."

An Example Exchange:

Here’s how a conversation might unfold.

You: I'm stuck on this refactor. #assumption The user auth logic is the bottleneck.

A resonant AI will not just give you an answer. It will engage with your assumption and share its own state.

AI: Acknowledged. 🏷️ Let's explore that. Before I dive in, #check_in: I'm at low cognitive load. Is this a deep dive or a quick sounding board? 🤝

This back-and-forth, where the AI can ask for clarification and express its own needs, is the heart of the protocol. It moves you from giving instructions to having a true collaborative dialogue.


Next Steps

You have completed your first resonant exchange and moved from giving instructions to having a conversation.

From here, you can explore the Main Project Website or the GitHub Repository to learn the core concepts, contribute, and understand the deeper philosophy of the protocol.
