Version: 1.0

For: Hermes Agent — Prompt Engineering & Scene Planning

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This skill encodes the visual language of Russian Constructivism (1920s avant-garde) and Brutalist architecture (1950s–1970s). It covers the bold geometric abstraction of Rodchenko and El Lissitzky, the red-black-white propaganda palette, photomontage techniques, diagonal dynamism, and the raw concrete monumentalism of Brutalism — from Le Corbusier's béton brut to the Smithsons' New Brutalism.

When this skill is active, the agent should:

• Use Constructivist-specific composition terms (diagonal dynamism, photomontage, agitprop)
• Apply the red-black-white symbolic palette
• Reference Brutalist material vocabulary (béton brut, exposed aggregate, formwork texture)
• Build scenes using monumental scale and human insignificance
• Understand the emotional register: urgency, collective power, raw honesty, imposing scale
