The rest of the guide

  1. Layer 1: the processThe process layer is your judgment, written down in the order you actually use it.
  2. Layer 2: the toolboxThe toolbox is every reusable thing the job needs, saved in the folder and pointed at from SKILL.md.
  3. Layer 3: the proofThis is the layer almost everyone skips, and it is the difference between AI that hands you ninety percent and AI that hands you something finished.
  4. The loop: fix the playbook, not the chatWhen it gets something wrong, the instinct is to correct it in the chat and move on.
  5. The folder, once it is builtOne folder per job, not one folder for everything.

  7. Five mistakes to avoidWriting the steps yourself.
  8. Your first thirty minutesPick the job you do most often.
