The garden is meant to be wandered, and you can open any plot you like. But if it all feels new, there is a calm order that works. It runs from the safe and simple to the powerful and careful - briefing first, agents last. You do not have to finish it. Take one step, use it for a week, come back for the next.
Every note here is short, interactive, and free to read - no gate to cross first. Each one ends by letting you apply the idea to your own situation, so you leave with something you can use, not just something you read.
The order below is a suggestion, not a rule. Its logic is simple: learn to hand over work well before you let anything run on its own.
Stop chatting, start delegating. Learn to brief a whole task before anything else.
WorkspaceThe room where you hand over the task. Every function, in one place.
FormatThe plain-text format the tool reads in full. A small thing that fixes a lot.
StandardsWrite your standard down once so you never re-explain it.
AutomationFixed steps you design once. The safe first form of automation.
CarefulSoftware that decides its own steps. Powerful, and the one to approach slowly.
