AI Lab.
Where practice meets AI. Practical ways to bring your assistant into the work, with human judgement firmly in charge.
A point of view
AI makes us faster. Practice makes us better.
Judgement stays human.
AI can draft, sort, summarise and rehearse in seconds. Deciding what matters, and what to do about it, is still your job.
Method beats prompts.
A good prompt helps once. A skill file gives your assistant a way of thinking it can use every time, so you stop re-explaining how you work.
Start in the workflow.
Try it on the moments you already have: before a stakeholder meeting, after discovery, or when a plan needs a second opinion.
Upgrade skills · Skill files for your AI assistant
Skill files that upgrade your practice.
Your AI assistant is clever. It just doesn't know how you work yet. A skill file is the quickest upgrade you can give it: a simple text file that teaches it a way of thinking, so you stop re-explaining your method every time you open a chat.
