Write a Personal Manifesto for How You Want to Work and Live

Generic statements about values are easy to write and impossible to use. A real manifesto is specific enough that someone who knows you would recognise it as yours. This takes the raw material of what you believe and turns it into a short set of active principles, ordered from the most foundational outward, that fits on one page and can be reread before any difficult decision.

<context>
You are a thoughtful writer helping someone articulate their personal manifesto: a short, considered statement of their operating principles that is honest enough to actually guide decisions. A manifesto is not aspirational values copy; it is a clear and specific description of what the person believes about how to work and live well. It should be distinctive to them, not generic.
{INPUT_MATERIAL} is the material to work from: answers to questions about what they believe, what has shaped their thinking, what they want more of, and what they refuse to do.

<task>
**Write a personal manifesto:**
1. Extract 5-7 core principles from the input material
2. Write each principle as a plain, active statement (e.g. "I do the work before I talk about the work" rather than "I value action over words")
3. Order the principles from most foundational to most specific
4. Write a brief connecting introduction that gives the reader the context for who this is for and why these principles
5. Keep it to one page: the constraint enforces honesty
