Three-Point Agreement
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
After Liu Bang entered the pass, he abolished the complex and harsh laws of Qin, stipulating only three rules: murderers shall be executed, and those who injure others or steal shall be punished accordingly. The people were greatly pleased.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Minimalist rules. When managing chaos or establishing a new team, do not create a manual of hundreds of pages. Instead, set the most core 'three red lines' that are simple, clear, and enforceable, which can quickly establish order.
Anchor fast decisions
Liu Bang abolished the harsh laws of Qin upon entering the pass, establishing only three agreements (murderers die, and those who injure or steal are punished accordingly), using extremely simple and clear rules to quickly establish order and trust. Fewer but enforceable rules are better than complex and difficult-to-follow laws—simplicity reduces compliance costs and increases credibility.
