Resource Advanced AI

Get more from the chat drawer — structured filters, the context meter, and conversation history.

Practice AI in Discovery

Where LLMs sharpen product discovery and where they quietly hollow it out — a stage-by-stage guide to the dos and don'ts.

Problem AI Without ROI

AI feels like noise, not leverage — scattered usage, no compounding.

Concept Compounding Engineering

Building reusable AI setups (projects, custom instructions, examples) that improve with use, turning one-time prompt wins into durable productivity systems.

Concept Context Engineering

The practice of supplying AI systems with the right background information, in the right format, to produce useful outputs.

Workshop Effective AI

A hands-on workshop that moves professionals from casual AI usage to intentional workflow engineering, teaching prompt engineering, context engineering, and compounding setup design using real work.

Practice Evaluations

Systematic methods for measuring AI output quality so you can tell whether your prompts, context, and setups actually work.

Practice Few-Shot Example Integration

How to wire a library of example files into Claude Projects, Cowork, and Claude Code so the right exemplars are selected per task and your quality bar compounds instead of resetting every session.

Article From Technical Debt to Cognitive and Intent Debt

Margaret-Anne Storey's article proposing a triple debt model of technical, cognitive, and intent debt for reasoning about software health in the age of AI.

Resource MCP Server

Connect Claude or ChatGPT to the Nerd/Noir collection over Model Context Protocol for search, note retrieval, and resource browsing.

Concept Meta-prompt Engineering

Using a model to build prompts as artifacts, either developing a reusable prompt on purpose or extracting one from a chat that already worked.

Concept Metacognition

Thinking deliberately about how you work, surfacing habitual patterns and tacit knowledge so you can identify opportunities for improvement or automation.

Activity Multi-Track Discovery & Delivery

Running many short-lived insight-to-experiment tracks alongside a durable delivery track. An AI-era update to Jeff Patton's dual-track model.

Concept Prompt Engineering

The practice of structuring instructions to AI systems for reliable, high-quality outputs through deliberate choices about structure, specificity, and iteration.

Concept Prompt Frameworks

Six named structures for prompts — CO-STAR, RISEN, RACE, CREATE, APE, and STOKE — with the components each one forces you to specify and a decision matrix for picking one.

Concept Reverse Prompt Engineering

Using AI to analyze successful outputs and reverse-engineer the prompts that would produce them, accelerating prompt development.
