AI gives generic advice until you tell it what you believe
A belief file is one plain document that grounds any assistant in your convictions — on every request.
Belief
Every person has inherent dignity.
Grip · Warrant
Agent implication
Never reason as though someone is worth less.
It will answer either way. The only question is whose convictions it reasons from.
The same question, twice
“Should I take the promotion?”
Without a belief file
Salary, title, trajectory. Sensible, and generic.
With yours
The same math — then what the hours cost the people you said come first.
Not agreement on demand. It still pushes back when your beliefs do not settle the question.
