Smart User Manifesto

Own your stack. Share your leverage.

Smart Users are privacy-first builders who insist on workflows they can inspect, improve, and teach. They test ideas in their Smart Environment, keep data local, and share playbooks so the whole community moves faster.

  • 🔐

    Data sovereignty over rented convenience.

  • 🧠

    Curiosity paired with disciplined workflows.

  • 🤝

    Community knowledge over algorithmic feeds.

What makes a Smart User

A generous mindset paired with local-first tooling.

Ritual

Publish weekly progress with a repeatable checklist.

Boundary

Automations run inside your Smart Environment—never rented APIs.

Signal

Every experiment ships as a Smart Template or note others can fork.

Community

Feedback flows inside the supporter circle so fixes land quickly.

Workflow audits Community-first releases Local-first defaults

Manifesto

A Smart User keeps leverage by design

Pair local-first tools with an open-handoff mindset. Everything below is designed to be forkable, auditable, and ready for the next builder.

Inspect every layer

Notes, settings, and AI prompts stay in your vault where they can be audited or forked. When you share a workflow, you share the source, not a screenshot.

Contribute forward

Report friction, document fixes, and publish short Looms or notes that teach others how you solved a problem. Your experiments de-risk the roadmap for everyone.

Fund independence

Smart Users back builder-owned software because thriving local-first tools protect their autonomy far more than renting features from ad-funded platforms.

Signals

Mindset & rituals

Signals that help readers self-identify with the Smart User persona and start practicing immediately.

Curiosity with structure

Every experiment ships as a capture, checklist, or Smart Template so discoveries compound instead of evaporating.

Reciprocal support

Smart Users post weekly progress, surface blockers early, and give specific feedback inside the Smart Community space.

Boundary-first automation

Automations run inside the Smart Environment and MCP servers you trust, so sensitive data never leaves your control.

Key Points

Non-negotiables every Smart User page reinforces

Use these points in copy, onboarding, and community prompts so readers know exactly how to participate.

Keep your data local

  • Smart Environment and Smart FS keep vault files portable.
  • Smart Actions run inside your stack, not a vendor API.
  • Audit trails make compliance conversations easy.

Share workflows that compound

  • Create short notes or recordings that others can fork.
  • Use Smart Templates so every run has predictable inputs.
  • Highlight results to recruit collaborators quickly.

Support the mission

  • Back independent releases with recurring contributions.
  • Test pre-release builds so fixes land in days, not months.
  • Invite aligned peers who will also invest in the commons.

Stack Points

Value layers that reinforce the message

Show how Smart Users combine tools to keep control without slowing down collaboration.

Always-on briefing

Targeted context notes make every GPT or MCP session aware of your standards, language, and current objectives.

Executable playbooks

Actions encapsulate repeatable flows (draft, summarize, publish) and can be remixed or extended without leaving your vault.

Peers on the same mission

Supporters trade annotated vaults, live call notes, and MCP recipes so nobody has to rediscover solved problems.

Transparent runway

Every contribution maps to build targets published on the Smart Mission page, so you see exactly what your support unlocks.

Community

Share your workflow

Move from spectator to co-builder the moment you publish a repeatable workflow. The supporter circle makes sure your post turns into the next feature.

Weekly participation loop

  1. Capture a friction log or win directly in your Smart Environment.
  2. Record a 90-second walkthrough or drop the note into the community space.
  3. Tag the outcome or MCP server involved so builders can follow up.

Smart Users move from spectators to co-builders when they publish repeatable workflows. Share yours, invite feedback, and your post could be the next featured story on SmartConnections.app.
