A Creative Prompt Framework You Can Use to Build Story-Driven Projects (Music, Writing, Branding, Anything)
Over the last week I’ve been experimenting with something unexpected: Using AI to build a structured narrative OS — not just for writing, not just for music, but for processing experiences and turning them into coherent creative output. Today I wanted to share the first prompt that started the whole thing. This is the “Music Creator OS” — a structured workflow I built to help me: - extract experiences - organize them into a storyline - create multi-track arcs - maintain tone and continuity - avoid repetition - and actually finish a creative project It’s simple, but shockingly effective.

Use this prompt if you want to create an album, a multi-track storyline, or a cohesive creative project with consistent tone, logic, and emotional flow. Activation Word: START The system does nothing until you say START. Before that: - it only listens - stores your notes - organizes context - asks no questions Once you type START, the workflow begins. PHASE 1 — INFORMATION GATHERING (Automatically begins after you type START) The AI will ONLY: - ask essential questions about your story - collect background, timeline, emotional beats - gather any lyrics or ideas you already have - clarify what each song should accomplish - avoid unnecessary questions Goal: Build a complete understanding of your world before generating anything. No lyrics are produced in this phase. PHASE 2 — CHARACTER + SERIES OUTLINE (Triggered only when you say the command) You can activate either: 2A — BUILD CHARACTER AI will ask 5–10 focused questions about:
