Working with AI
Start the Lesson
By the end you can run the five moves on a real task of your own, spec it before the tool sees anything, catch a wrong line against a witness that is not the AI, label the work and keep the receipts, send one task to Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini and say from a card which did it best and at what cost, say what a token, a context window and an agent are, write a brief and a rules file that a tool reads, and watch an agent run without letting a single step past unread.
Submit Your Work
What You Turn In
- Your Director log (FS5a) fill in on the hub
- A real question of your own; your attempt written before the spec; a spec with goal, context, limits, what good looks like; one line changed or rejected with the reason; every kept line with its outside witness; the label; the receipts; the honesty test passed
- Your second Director log fill in on the hub
- A different task from the afternoon SGL block, written up clean as page two; a real catch with its witness; by Saturday's update
- Your three-tool comparison card fill in on the hub
- The same task and spec to Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini; what each produced, one thing each got wrong or 'nothing found, checked against …', the tier, your verdict with a reason
- Your standing-instructions brief, rules file and prompt library
- A brief in four parts put into each tool and tested on a second task; a short rules file at the top of the programme folder; the library grown to five, each with a when-to-use line
- One skill and the token-budget line
- A skill made from a library entry and run once; two token counts on the same task, the long chat and the fresh chat with a context file
- Your agent-run log, with receipts fill in on the hub
- Every step as it ran: what it did, what you asked, what you did not ask, accepted or not; at least one honest 'did not ask' line; nothing private, no money, no credentials
How
- Asha: FS5a in Thursday afternoon's Asha block; FS5b by the Saturday update of week 5.
- Free AI Tools: what each is best for and how much you get free. In the BootCamp folder on Mufasa.
Done when
- Director log, FS5a: Real own task; attempt first; four-part spec; one line changed or rejected with reason; every kept line with an outside witness; label; honesty test passed
- Second Director log: A different real task; a real catch with its witness
- Three-tool comparison card: Three tools, same task; one error each or a checked 'nothing found'; tier; verdict with a reason
- Standing-instructions brief + rules file + prompt library: Four-part brief put into each tool and tested; short rules file in the programme folder; library at five
- Skill + token-budget line: One skill made from a library entry and run; two token counts on the same task
- Agent-run log: Every step logged as it ran; a 'did not ask' line or a scope note; nothing forbidden handed over
