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.
- 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.
- Click the "Copy to Clipboard" button.
- 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.
#assumptionThe most important thing is performance." - "I need to write a document explaining our new API.
#assumptionThe audience is non-technical." - "Let's brainstorm a name for this project.
#assumptionIt should sound innovative but also stable."
An Example Exchange:
Here’s how a conversation might unfold.
You: I'm stuck on this refactor.
#assumptionThe 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.
