Free · Operator Kit

The operating documents behind real agent-built software.

This is not a prompt pack. It's the set of working documents an operator writes to direct AI agents through a real build — spec, operating manual, architecture request, review and QA checklists, launch and recovery playbooks.

Drop them in your repo. Fill the bracketed fields. They're the same kind of artifacts behind real agent-built systems — the difference between software that ships and a demo that breaks on the second click.

What's inside

13 operating documents

Grouped by the five stages of the Operator Loop — Spec, Orchestrate, Review, Ship, Grow. Each document comes with a filled worked example from a real, shipped build.

What the Kit is and the order to run it in.
  • Operator Kit — Start Here

    What the Kit is, the Operator Loop it maps to, and the order to run the documents in.

Spec

Decide what should exist, and how you'll know it works.
  • Product / Spec Template

    A PRD without the bloat: what to build, for whom, and the acceptance criteria that define done.

  • Definition of Done & Acceptance

    The reusable bar every slice must clear — so 'done' means the same thing every time.

Orchestrate

Set the standing rules and hand the agent one slice at a time.
  • Agent Operating Manual (AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md)

    The standing rules every agent reads every session — tools, verification gates, and the facts it keeps forgetting.

  • Scope & Milestone Plan

    Slice a build into vertical, shippable steps so the agent can't run off a cliff between checkpoints.

  • Task Brief

    The atomic handoff: one slice, scoped, with acceptance criteria, verify commands, and a stop condition.

  • Architecture Request

    Ask the agent for architecture options and trade-offs instead of accepting whatever it types first.

  • UX / UI Direction Brief

    Direction so the interface reflects your taste, not the agent's default SaaS template.

Review

Judge the output without pretending to be a senior engineer.
  • Code Review Checklist (for non-engineers)

    What you can and should check on every diff — without pretending to be a senior engineer.

  • Agent Recovery & Debugging Playbook

    What to do when the agent drifts, breaks the build, or confidently ships nonsense.

Ship

Prove it works, then deploy without chaos.
  • Browser QA Checklist

    Prove the build actually works where users live — the part demos always skip.

  • Launch & Deployment Checklist

    Ship to production without chaos — env, domains, email, and a rollback mindset.

Grow

Measure the funnel and decide what to build next.
  • Analytics & Attribution Starter

    Instrument the funnel before launch so you learn from real traffic instead of guessing.
