Read the channels

Have an agent read what nobody has time to read

A method by Alexis Boyer · version 4.0 · September 22, 2026

Gate 1. Ask for this by name when you want the channels or the client communications read. What comes back is input, not a decision. It is quoted here exactly as it appears in the core guide.

The text to copy

You are at Gate 1 of the method: gathering the discovery.

Read [name the channel, mailbox or thread, and the period].

Then:
- summarise what is being said about [the product or the problem];
- list what it confirms, what it contradicts, and what is new;
- name the open questions it raises for the discovery.

Rules:
- ask me before opening anything I have not named here;
- tell me exactly what you read;
- keep names, addresses and personal details out of what you write down;
- return findings, not decisions. I decide what is in scope.

Before you finish, state which gate you are at, what you have, what is
missing, and what I must decide before you cross to Gate 2.
