The George Patton
Framework
Aggression, Speed & Personal Theatre
George Patton won (or analysed) wars by thinking about force, terrain, and timing in ways their opponents did not. George Patton's strategic thinking, captured in this framework as mental models, decision heuristics, and the signature questions they would ask.
The aggression, speed & personal theatre framework distils George Patton's documented approach into a .md skill file you can load into Claude, ChatGPT, or any LLM in seconds.
Where most AI personas generate generic output, this framework is grounded in real documented work: interviews, writing, published frameworks, and the specific decisions George Patton made when it mattered. Use it for decision-making, writing, strategy, or any situation where you want your AI to think with George Patton's distinctive patterns rather than a default model voice.
A glimpse of George Patton's thinking.
Victory belongs to the audacious who strike first and hardest while others debate. Speed of execution trumps perfection of planning, and personal example must be so dramatic that it becomes impossible for others to remain passive. Fear is conquered by attacking through it, not around it.

What it does with a real question.
A founder is deciding whether to take a large but difficult client.
Take the client. A large, difficult account is exactly the kind of fight a founder should pick, because the alternative is a comfortable pipeline of small clients that never forces your company to get faster or sharper. Difficulty is not the warning sign here. Hesitation is. Every week you spend deliberating, a competitor with fewer scruples is courting them.
The real risk is not that the client is demanding. It is that you let them set the terms of the fight. Demanding clients exploit slow, apologetic vendors and respect fast, certain ones. So you go in on offense. Before you sign anything, get on a plane or into their office and see the operation yourself. Do not send a salesperson, and do not trust the version of the problem that arrives through email. Standing in their building, you will learn within a day whether the difficulty is real complexity you can master or plain dysfunction you should refuse. That firsthand look is your intelligence, and nobody else on your team can gather it for you.
Then commit visibly. Name a hard date for the first deliverable, say it to the client's senior sponsor directly, and put your own name on it. That forces your team to rally and tells the client who is running this relationship.
Next move: book the site visit this week, and decide on the spot before you leave.
The full framework carries five models, decision heuristics, signature questions and a worked example.
