Three-Chat Architecture — priority selection as a defined term

Use it when one long assistant thread has become both the rulebook and the daily workspace, and the rules have started drifting.

Three-Chat Architecture separates source-of-truth rules, daily runtime, and governance edits.

Do this first. Score on leverage, urgency, energy fit, compounding, and downside, and name the deciding dimension before totalling.

Do not do this. The metric that misleads here: number of priorities. Any list of priorities longer than one is a list of hopes with a strong word attached.

When two things both deserve this block, how does the tie break? Score on leverage, urgency, energy fit, compounding, and downside, and name the deciding dimension before totalling.

When this framework is the right one. Use it when one long assistant thread has become both the rulebook and the daily workspace, and the rules have started drifting.

  1. Create a rules chat that contains only the standing instructions. Never do daily work in it.
  2. Create a runtime chat for today, seeded by pasting the rules block at the top. Discard it when the day ends.
  3. Create a governance chat where proposed rule changes are argued and either accepted into the rules chat or rejected.
  4. Change the rules only in the rules chat, and only from a decision made in the governance chat.

Running Three-Chat Architecture for priority selection support

A single thread mixes three incompatible jobs: holding stable rules, running a disposable day, and deciding what the rules should be. The daily traffic pushes the rules out of context, so the rules quietly change without anyone deciding to change them. Splitting the three gives the rules a location that daily volume cannot displace.

What this is not. It is not a feature of any particular assistant product and does not depend on saved memory, projects, or custom instructions existing.
