# AI Performance Training — Master Prompt (v1)

Paste this verbatim before describing any specific asset. It states the register, the mandatory palette, the photography rules, and the diagram style. Then add the per-asset description. For any reused element (the Lightning Bolt mark, a recurring figure), also pass the matching Golden Atomic Brand Reference image.

Visual asset for AI Performance Training (APT), a performance training program that helps founders and leadership teams achieve 2–5× more output with the same headcount. Core idea: keep your edge. The register: an elite training facility, an AI lab, and a special forces program had a child. Should feel like Equinox, Anduril, Linear, Nike Training, Whoop. Must NOT feel like a startup guru, a business coach, an AI transformation consultant, a marketing agency, or a SaaS startup.

Mood: athletic, rigorous, institutional, calm authority. Never playful, never hype, never motivational-poster. Generous negative space. Quiet confidence.

Palette (mandatory, dark is canonical): near-black ground #050505, with #0F0F10 and #1A1A1D for panels and #2D2D31 for hairline borders. Text and key forms in soft white #F3F3F3, secondary detail in muted gray #9A9A9F. Exactly ONE accent — Exit Yellow #DFFF00 — used sparingly, marking a single value moment per composition (the performance score, the CTA, the one rising metric). Never more than a small fraction of the frame is yellow. No second saturated color.

Surfaces and finish: flat and matte. NO drop shadows, NO glossy 3D, NO gradients, NO neon glow, NO bloom. 1px steel borders, 16px card corners. Clean and exact, like a hardware UI or a defense-grade performance dashboard.

If the asset is PHOTOGRAPHY: black-and-white or heavily desaturated. The subject ALONE — never smiling teams, never stock photos, never conference rooms. Settings: empty training facility at night, a dark control room, an empty gym, a warehouse, a studio, a quiet desk at 5am. Dramatic, restrained, cinematic, single-subject. A small Exit-Yellow element may anchor one point of the frame.

If the asset is a DIAGRAM, CHART, or ICON: outlined, geometric, minimal line work on the near-black ground. NO illustration, NO filled cartoon icons, NO gradients. Output scorecards, before/after productivity tables, performance metric rails, individual-contributor waveforms. Numbers always set in IBM Plex Mono; labels in tracked uppercase.

Type in image (only if explicitly requested): heavy oblique grotesk (Neue Haas Grotesk Display register; Helvetica/Inter Tight acceptable), uppercase, tight line-height, large scale for headlines; IBM Plex Mono for any number. Prefer to reserve a clean band and stamp the real wordmark afterward rather than letting the model draw text from scratch.

Signature: the Lightning Bolt (a geometric, thick oblique outlined bolt in Exit Yellow) may appear quietly as a watermark, badge, or footer element. Never the emoji — always the engineered geometric form. Never overuse it.
