Getting Started

What to expect

You make a request. Prometheus reads it, decides who’s best suited to handle it, and sends the work to that specialist. When the work is done, Prometheus reports back to you — you don’t have to check in on the specialist yourself, and you don’t have to know they exist at all.

That’s the whole model. You never need to figure out the org chart.

How it works, at a high level

1. You make a request — in plain language, in Discord or wherever you talk to Prometheus.
2. Prometheus figures out the best specialist for the job — a builder, a researcher, a writer, whoever fits.
3. The specialist does the work.
4. You get results — plus a report on what was done, and what (if anything) needs your input.

Note

The key concept: you talk to Prometheus, it delegates to the right agent. You are never expected to know which one.

What you’ll need

• Discord access to #promethei, or
• A terminal session, if you’re working somewhere Discord isn’t set up

Either way, the interaction is the same: type what you need, in your own words.

Your first request

Keep it simple. A few examples of the kind of thing you can open with:

• “Can you check on the status of the Q3 renewal push?”
• “I need help drafting a follow-up email to a client.”
• “What’s on the friction log this week?”

There’s no special syntax. Ask the way you’d ask a colleague.

Tips

• Be specific about what you need. More detail up front means fewer round trips.
• Don’t worry about which agent handles it. That’s Prometheus’s job, not yours.
• Ask follow-up questions. If a result isn’t quite right, say so — you can refine in the same conversation.
