Directing agents to work 'within a researcher's interests' becomes a novel prompting trick

A user shared that telling their agents to work 'within the research interests of Elliot Glazer' made the agents produce surprisingly good output. Another adds that publishing almost becomes a liability in this regime, and that they similarly prompt 'channel your inner Dieter Rams' before design work.
The trick: use a known researcher's or designer's taste and focus as a prompt constraint, letting agents autonomously produce work under a specific intellectual style — a low-cost way to borrow expert taste in agent orchestration.
