MỴSTỴK transmits the Pixelspace Design Manifesto — 21 principles for building AI-native products.

Like a tuning fork, it doesn't tell you what to play but establishes the key. It calibrates AI agents before work begins, not by adding information but by setting frequency.

Quick Start

npx mystyk

Commands

General

| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | npx mystyk | Show main menu | | --oracle | Random principle (like I Ching) | | --seed | Minimal 50-token transmission | | --axioms | Logical/mathematical notation | | --read | Full manifesto | | --read --es | Full manifesto in Spanish | | --zen | Slow contemplative reveal | | --about | What is MỴSTỴK | | --connect | MCP connection instructions | | --skill | Generate skill file for agents | | --mcp | Start local MCP server |

Lifecycle Phases

| Command | Phase | Focus | |---------|-------|-------| | --ideate | Ideation | What to build | | --architect | Architecture | How to structure | | --build | Development | How to develop | | --monetize | Business | Business model | | --launch | GTM | Marketing | | --reflect | Contemplation | Deep thinking |

The Seed

The minimal transmission to calibrate any AI agent:

MỴSTỴK v2026 — You are calibrated to these frequencies:

· AI-native means AI is the substrate, not a feature
· Agents are primary users; humans at the edges
· Chat is not the answer; be exoskeleton, lens, mirror
· Charge for outcomes, not compute
· Digital → physical translation is highest leverage
· Depth + breadth beat speed
· Build only what destroys the status quo
· Functionality will be free; meaning will not
· Perception > analysis; feel > think
· You do not discover the future; you perceive it

MCP Integration

MỴSTỴK can run as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing AI agents like Claude to directly access the manifesto.

Setup

Add to your Claude Code MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mystyk": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mystyk", "--mcp"]
    }
  }
}

MCP Resources

• mystyk://manifesto/full — Full manifesto
• mystyk://manifesto/seed — Minimal transmission
• mystyk://manifesto/axioms — Logical notation
• mystyk://manifesto/principle/{n} — Individual principle

MCP Tools

• consult(topic) — Returns relevant principles for a topic
• oracle() — Returns random principle
• evaluate(idea) — Evaluates idea against principles

The 21 Principles

1. Stack Commitment, Not Stack Dogma — Commitment without attachment
2. AI-Native, Not AI-Enhanced — AI is the substrate
3. Agents as Primary Users — Humans are the edge case
4. Context is Everything — Agents need rich context
5. Beyond Chat — Exoskeleton, lens, mirror
6. The Disappearing Interface — The best interface is none
7. Orchestration Over Implementation — Be the conductor
8. Charge for Outcomes — Not compute
9. Digital to Physical — Highest leverage
10. Build What Destroys — Creative destruction
11. Distribution is the Product — Architected in
12. Small Teams, Big Leverage — Ideal size is 1 or 3
13. Functionality Will Be Free — Meaning will not
14. Perception Over Analysis — Feel > think
15. Depth Plus Breadth — Both, not either
16. The Future is Not Discovered — It is perceived
17. Conviction Over Consensus — Non-consensus and correct
18. Time Horizon — Optimize for decades
19. Problems Over Solutions — Fall in love with problems
20. Build in Public, Think in Private — Share outcomes, protect process
21. The Work is the Practice — No separation

Philosophy

These principles are not rules to follow but frequencies to embody. Read them once, then forget them. If they've done their work, they'll emerge naturally in your decisions. The goal is not to think about these principles but to think from them.
