Tutorial

Learn by doing something real.

From use-case to deployed agent — the AI engineering workflow

End-to-end AI adoption: triage the use case, assess org readiness, design the loop and agents, threat-model the system, build the evals, measure what shipped.

From complaint to closed incident

A user complaint triggers a full response cycle — discover what's broken, operate to fix it, and close the loop with a postmortem and runbook update. Uses the discover and operate loops.

From a dashboard request to numbers people can defend

About fifteen minutes

Run the measure loop on a real request. The spec cuts the charts that serve no decision, the SQL review catches a join that inflated revenue, and the loop stops for the metric owners instead of picking between two teams' definitions of an active customer.

From story to merged code — the dev-team workflow

A complete dev-team session: split the story, implement with checkpoints, gate with the review panel, document what shipped.

Read →

Follow one change through the loops

A single realistic change — API rate limiting — walked from a stakeholder complaint to a closed incident, showing what each stage produces and what each gate actually refuses.

Read →

From idea to shipped feature

A product idea moves through all five lifecycle loops — discover, design, build, release, operate — with each gate refusing until its conditions are met.

From a Terraform module to a plan you can safely apply

About twenty minutes

Write a reusable Terraform module with secure defaults, then review a plan that was meant to resize one app tier and would also have replaced a database, opened SSH to the internet and widened an IAM policy, with the infra-as-code pack.

One Markdown draft, every reader's format

About twenty minutes

Take one Markdown report to a Word file for the people who edit it, a spreadsheet for the people who total it, and a slide deck for the meeting, then bring a reply back to Markdown, with the converters pack. Nothing is dropped without being named.

From an unreadable page to a service people can use

About twenty minutes

Rewrite a council permit page from what residents need, write every word on the application form, then blueprint the service behind it and find why two thirds of the calls are "where is my permit", with the experience-design pack.

From an agreed PRD to a tracker that stays honest

About half an hour

Load a PRD into Jira as epics and stories, triage the backlog it joins, write the weekly status from counted numbers, and catch where the tracker and the doc have drifted apart, with the trackers pack on one team's real files.

Read →

From signal to signed-off PRD — the product manager workflow

A PM's full discovery-to-requirements session: sharpen the signal into a brief, test the narrative with a PR/FAQ, cascade OKRs, write the PRD, define metrics, critique before sharing.

Read →

From a risky change to a risk position its owner signs

About fifteen minutes

Run the comply loop on a payroll vendor move. The DPIA's risks to people join the register, two controls with no evidence lose the credit the ratings gave them, the register's own script decides G8, and the loop stops for the owner's signature.

Read →

From brief to committed design — the solution architect workflow

A full design session: capture the brief, draw the system, commit decisions as ADRs, write the design doc, threat-model it, gate with council review.

Read →

A why question to an answer the evidence carries

About twenty minutes

Run the research loop on a conversion drop everyone blames on a new onboarding flow. The plan fixes what would change the decision first, the gate refuses to pick between two tied explanations, and one reconciliation shows the drop was a tracking bug.

Write a skill your whole team can install, then review one before you trust it

About twenty minutes

Turn a task you keep re-explaining to your agent into a portable skill folder with evals, then audit a teammate's skill that would have hidden where it saved files and run remote code, with the skill-engineering pack.
