Build a reference card system. Stop re-explaining your taste to AI.

Every prompt, you re-explain your taste.

The references. The type stack. The lighting. The pace. The thing you reject.

The fix: turn every reference you save into a structured paragraph you can paste.

I save a video, a screenshot, or a saved webpage. Claude watches it once. The output is one markdown card with named fields: thesis, intent, operative moves, failure modes, tooling, voice, adjacencies, tags.

Two card types:

1. Trend card. Someone else's reference. Names what the pattern IS.

2. DNA profile. Your own corpus. Names what YOU keep doing.

Now every prompt starts with the matching card pasted in. The system carries my taste forward instead of my memory.

The system around the AI is the intelligence.
