The Problem

Your company has QA for its products.
What checks the AI's work?

Every instruction you type into a chat is consumed once and gone. The AI that starts tomorrow knows nothing yours learned today. So you make the same corrections forever, and fluent output gets waved through on confidence alone. That isn't an AI problem. It's a missing-institutions problem, and institutions can be written down in an evening.

What You Build

Three documents. One harness.

01 Constitution

One written file your AI reads before every session: who you are, what the words mean, which rules never bend. Your operating agreement, finally explicit.

02 Gates

Machines verify everything checkable. Humans keep the judgment calls, named in advance. Including the one gate you refuse to automate.

03 Loop

Every failure becomes a written rule the next session reads. Prompts are consumed. Constitutions compound.


Inside the Kit

Worksheets, not theory.

The constitution template

Annotated and blank versions. Copy it into a file, fill it in, and your AI starts every session knowing how you work.

The glossary worksheet

Your ten terms. Define your words once and the AI speaks your language back. Ten terms, written down, beat a thousand corrections.

Pick your five

The exercise that separates hard rules from defaults. If everything is a hard rule, nothing is.

The gates map

One workflow, broken into steps: what a machine checks at each, and where a human signs. Your first eval, on paper.

The history-audit prompt

Paste it into your AI and it mines your own past conversations for failure patterns, repeated corrections, and the rules they should become. This one pays for the kit on its own.

The scar-rule template and weekly review

The fifteen-minute routine that turns every failure into a permanent rule. Six questions, one file, compounding.

The delivery one-pager

How work becomes done: the page that lets you delegate the delegation.

The seven principles

One poster page. Print it. The rest is commentary.

Where It Comes From

Earned, not imagined.

Every template in this kit runs my own products daily: a risk-intelligence engine, a company operating system, and a book written with a pipeline of AI agents. The worked examples are real scars from real failures, dates included. Nothing here is speculation, because a rule without a failure attached is speculation.


Questions
Who is it for?

Anyone who delegates real work to AI: executives, owners, consultants, analysts, writers. No code anywhere in the kit. If you build software with agents, everything maps one-to-one to your AGENTS.md.

Which AI does it work with?

All of them. The kit produces plain text files you own. The same files that drive today's leading model will drive whatever replaces it.

What exactly do I get?

A 21-page PDF workbook, delivered by email the minute you pay. The download link is permanent. Free updates to future editions of Edition 1.

How long does it take?

The guided path is 90 minutes. Most people have a working constitution the same evening.

Can I share it?

Inside your team, yes. The templates are yours to adapt without attribution. Reselling the kit is the one thing you can't do.

Want to build it together?

The kit is the first rung.

Build is one day, one-to-one: you and me, building your first working tool and your first constitution in the same room. The kit's price is credited if you book.
