Field guides for working with the current, not against it.
Practical, plainspoken playbooks for building an intentional relationship with AI. Organised the way the work actually behaves — as an ecosystem, from the ambient rules at the surface down to the foundations on the floor.

The ecosystem
Five elements, one body of water.
Every skill lives at a depth. The shallower ones shape intent and governance; the deeper ones hold the foundations everything else rests on.
The library
8 skills.
Short, usable, and revised as the water changes. Filter by element, or read the whole reef.
Adversarial Distiller
A four-persona method for extracting the incontrovertible truth from any written argument — what it cannot escape claiming, what it is really fighting against, and the subsidiary truths that survive the debate.
Article Accelerator
A human-led, AI-assisted workflow for producing rigorous, adversarially-reviewed written content — from rough idea to publish-ready article — at a fraction of the usual time investment.
Daily Augmentations
The foundational layer of Human/AI collaboration — everyday tasks where AI assistance is straightforward, immediate, and accessible regardless of technical background.
Data Request Fulfillment
A judgment-led, two-phase workflow for fulfilling customer dataset requests — AI-driven search and generation, with adversarial loops on both data and documentation before secure airlock publish.
Reflection Loop
A fifteen-minute end-of-session protocol for AI-augmented work — five questions that extract genuine learning from every build session and compound your Learning Rate over time.
Lineage Automation
How to progress from manual AI lineage logging to an automated workflow that captures your working process as a byproduct of how you work — voice notes, session hooks, and AI-assisted structuring.
Building Your Shoal
How to find, start, and maintain a small group of practitioners who compound your learning — including cold-start approaches for remote and isolated practitioners.
Error-Pattern Library
A personal AI-assisted database of failures and their extracted lessons — with a two-step capture workflow, AI-assisted processing, and pattern-finding that turns individual mistakes into a map of your specific failure modes.
