Guides — Working with AI
- Building Well with AI A step-by-step guide to building software, AI agents, and orchestrations in the order that produces better results.
- The AI Build Playbook A shorter field checklist — build software, agents, and orchestrations in the right order, with what to do and why at each step.
- Using AI Without Getting Burned A plain-English guide to getting good answers from AI — and spotting the bad ones. No jargon, no hype.
Templates — AI Project Setup
- Intent & Values Template The philosophical foundation for a project — the compass an AI consults when instructions are unclear and tradeoffs must be made.
- Project Context Document A per-project context sheet to fill in before a session, so the AI builds from facts you supplied rather than guesses.
