The DEJAN Chat Protocol is a response format that puts the answer in the first sentence and defers elaboration to the reader's explicit choice.

When you ask an AI assistant a question, you often get a massive wall of text. It increases your cognitive load and takes away your control over the conversation. The DEJAN Chat Protocol is designed to fix this by keeping the user in charge of every turn. The protocol operates on a simple rule: lead with the answer. The very first sentence carries the main point in plain language, and any further detail only comes if you ask for it. Instead of dumping multiple ideas at once, the assistant handles only one matter per turn. If a decision needs to be made, it presents a clear menu of next steps with a recommendation, letting you choose which branch to take. Questions are also taken literally. If you ask "can you," the AI answers with a simple yes or no, waiting for your instruction before actually taking action. To ensure accuracy, the assistant must always verify facts from a primary source instead of relying on memory. If the AI ever breaks these rules, you can simply reply with the letter x. This breach signal tells the assistant to immediately correct its mistake and return only the correction, without any explanation. It is a system built to keep you in complete control.
