DRMND PROTOCOL SPECIFICATIONS

This book specifies the DRMND protocol, a first-principles framework for gamified, real-time, user-centric, data-driven skincare.

Turn the DRMND protocol into a GDB (Game Development Bible) from 1st principles intentionally optimized clear and each part functional and as a whole unit from 1st principles

SkinCare101: Skin + Care

0.0. [Skin] Priorities

Every routine begins with Priorities:

• Concerns = current state.
• Results = desired state.
• Actions = bridge between them.

Concern → Result Mapping

Concern	Optimized Essential Actions	Result
Dryness	Hydrate (H)	Deep Hydration
Dullness	Clean (C), Hydrate (H)	Brightening
Wrinkles / Fine Lines	Treat (T), Hydrate (H)	Anti / Graceful Aging
Acne	Treat (T), Clean (C)	Clear Breakouts
Pore Visibility	Treat (T), Clean (C)	Pore Refinement
Redness	Treat (T), Protect (P)	Soothing Irritation
Hyperpigmentation	Treat (T), Protect (P)	Even SkinTone

---

Selection Framework

• Primary Concern (Current State): "What skincare issue demands immediate attention right now?"
• Secondary Choice (Priority Shift): “Next priority: unresolved issue or desired outcome?”
• Tertiary Choice (Optimization): "Final priority to refine your regimen."

1. Primary Concern (Current State): "What skincare issue demands immediate attention right now?"

• Rule: Must select a Concern (e.g., Dryness, Acne).
• Function: Anchors regimen in current need → triggers Essential Actions (e.g., Hydrate) + auto-adds Result (e.g., Deep Hydration).

2. Secondary Choice (Priority Shift): “Next priority: unresolved issue or desired outcome?”

• Flexibility: Choose Concern (adds Actions + Result) or Result (e.g., Brightening).

3. Tertiary Choice (Optimization): "Final priority to refine your regimen."

• Constraint: No duplicates; lower priority than Primary/Secondary.

---

Rules

• Max 3 total (1 Primary + 1 Secondary + 1 Tertiary).
• Actions deduplicated (e.g., Hydrate selected twice → retained once).
• Primary locked to Concern → ensures regimen starts from current reality.

---

Priority Matrix

• 3x2(6) Matrix : 2 Actions per Concern/Result, Default
• 3x3(9) Matrix : 3 Actions per Concern/Result, Used if Primary Concern not addressed / Extreme cases.

	P¹	S²	T³
P¹	H ¹	C ²	T ³
S²	C ²	H ⁴	T ⁶
T³	T ³	C ⁶	H ⁹

	¹	²	³
¹	¹	²	³
²	²	⁴	⁶
³	³	⁶	⁹

	P	S	T
P	H	C	T
S	C	H	T
T	T	C	H

Priority Rules

• Concern/Result Priority
• Action/Function Priority : Takes precidence if Concern/Result Priority Match

H	C	C	T	T	H	C	T	H
P	S	P	T	P	S	T	S	T

Priority Decoding (OOP)

• Hydrate Primary
• Clean Secondary
• Clean Primary
• Treat Tertiary
• Treat Primary
• Hydrate Secondary
• Clean Tertiary
• Treat Secondary
• Hydrate Tertiary

Example

Selections:

1. Primary: Dryness → H → Deep Hydration
2. Secondary: Dullness → C, H → Brightening
3. Tertiary: Even SkinTone (Result) → T, P

Priority Matrix

T	T ³	C ⁶	H ⁹

Priority Rules

H	C	C	T	T	H	C	T	H

Output:

• Results: Deep Hydration, Brightening, Even SkinTone
• Actions: H, C, T, P
• Function: H, C, C, T, T, H, C, T, H

0.1. [Skin] Profile

Refine routines based on individual Skin Profiles:

• Skin Type: Dry ↔ Oily
• Sensitivity: High ↔ Low
• Allergies: Avoid specific triggers
• Environment: Adapt to weather, age, and lifestyle.

//Skin Profile
{
  "skin_type": "oily",
  "sensitivity": "high",
  "allergies": ["fragrance"]
}

1. Care

4 Core Functionalities : 🫧 Clean , 🎯 Treat ,💧 Hydrate , 🔆 Protect

Fx	Purpose
🫧 Clean	Remove dirt/impurities, dead-skin(exfoliate).
🎯 Treat	target,alleviate specific concerns.
💧 Hydrate	lock in moisture.
🔆 Protect	shield skin from environmental stressors.

//Function of Skin[Care]

{
  "Clean": ["dirt/impurities", "dead-skin"],
  "Treat": ["target", "alleviate"],
  "Hydrate": ["lock in moisture"],
  "Protect": ["shield"]
}

Protocol Overview

Formula: Skin Priorities × Skin Profile × Core Functionalities

1. Define Priorities: Focus on up to 3 concerns (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary).
2. Map Core Functionalities: Address concerns using C (Clean), T (Treat), H (Hydrate), and P (Protect).
3. Adapt via Profile: Refine products and routines to match individual needs.
4. Apply in Order: Execute routines systematically for maximum efficacy.

Example Routine

Case:

• Primary Concern: Acne → Treat (T), Clean (C)
• Secondary Concern: Dullness → Clean (C), Hydrate (H)
• Intended Result: Brightening → Clean (C), Hydrate (H)
• Profile: Sensitive, Oily

Routine:

1. Step 1: Gentle cleanser (Clean 🫧)
2. Step 2: Acne serum (Treat 🎯)
3. Step 3: Lightweight moisturizer (Hydrate 💧)
4. Step 4: Sunscreen (Protect 🔆)
