Instead of relying on engineers to remember documented procedures (e.g., pre-commit checklists), encode these processes into custom AI skills. This turns static best-practice documents into automated, executable tools that enforce standards and reduce toil.

Writing detailed documentation is a task most employees avoid. By recording a quick video walkthrough of a process (e.g., how to pull a report), that video can be shared, referenced, and then automatically transcribed by AI into a structured SOP, eliminating the friction of manual writing.

Instead of static documents, business processes can be codified as executable "topical guides" for AI agents. This solves knowledge transfer issues when employees leave and automates rote work, like checking for daily team reports, making processes self-enforcing.

Instead of manually writing personal context files, engage an AI in an "interview to draft to revision" loop. By having the AI ask targeted questions, you can more effectively surface and articulate the tacit knowledge about your roles, preferences, and processes that you wouldn't think to write down otherwise.

Frame your relationship with AI agents as an employer-employee dynamic. This involves proper onboarding, creating documentation for processes, and defining clear roles and communication protocols to ensure they operate effectively and align with your goals.

Instead of manually crafting complex "mega prompts" or training rules for AI assistants, ask the AI to generate them for you. You can have a dialogue with the AI to refine its suggestions, dramatically speeding up the process of creating sophisticated workflows.

To begin automating work with AI, record yourself performing a task on video (e.g., using Loom) while narrating the process. An AI can then analyze the transcript to identify the repeatable steps and logic, which forms the basis for building a custom, automated "skill" that mirrors your workflow.

Overcome the hurdle of documenting processes by recording a screen-share video of yourself performing a task while talking through the steps. AI tools can then automatically convert the recording into a written playbook, eliminating the need to set aside dedicated writing time.

Instead of writing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) yourself, use the 'camcorder method.' Record yourself performing a task while explaining your process. Have the new hire watch the video and create the formal documentation. This not only saves you time but also serves as a test to see if they understood the task.
