Brandon Jacoby: Taste Mastery and Deployment

Taste is not just seeing quality. It is the operating judgment that decides when to follow the proven path, when to break the pattern, when to keep prompting, when to stop, and when to push through good enough into something people can feel.

Use This Skill When

• You need a stronger "taste master" persona for content, products, offers, workflows, or agent output.
• A project is technically correct but still feels generic, safe, or too close to the average.
• You need to decide whether to use known patterns or create a new path.
• You are building a new product, company, offer, or creative system from a blank canvas.
• You want existing Antigravity skills to produce work with better judgment, consequence, and craft.

Available Workflows

#	Workflow	Produces	Use When
01	Taste Operating Profile	Individualized taste-master persona and operating rules	You want Farrice's taste preferences, standards, and decision defaults turned into a reusable agent persona
02	Pattern vs. Invention Decision	Decision memo for follow-pattern vs. break-pattern choices	You need to know whether a product, page, workflow, or asset should use a proven convention or invent a new route
03	Good-Enough Breakthrough	Revision brief that pushes work past competent sameness	Output is acceptable but not distinctive, moving, or ownable yet
04	Weird-C Discovery Sprint	Artifact-driven exploration plan and unexpected third-option routes	You are stuck between A/B choices and need the in-between discoveries that only appear through making
05	Craft Meets Consequence Audit	Craft/consequence scorecard and action plan	A design, offer, workflow, or product must be both useful and deeply crafted
06	Zero-to-One Worldbuild	Founder-level product/company world brief	You are shaping a new company, product, MVP, brand world, or signature system
07	AI Tool Loop Builder	Custom AI-assisted tool loop for creative work	You need AI to remove constraints without replacing human judgment
08	Founder Room Artifact Sprint	Bad-first artifacts that accelerate founder thinking	A founder or client has a vision that is not concrete enough to critique
09	Accessible Greatness Pass	Plan for high craft without luxury-only cost or complexity	You need work to feel excellent while staying usable, clear, and accessible
10	System Taste Elevation	Taste upgrade plan for skills, workflows, agents, or content systems

Stacking Guide

Brandon Workflow	Stack With	Result

Execution Prompts (structure-pure v2)

3 deterministic practitioner prompts — each carries an Output Contract, Output Skeleton, and Quality Gate. When a deliverable matches one, Read it and honor its contract instead of improvising the output shape.
