Wonder Guild · stage 1 〈Digital Workshop〉
Digital Workshop — finish just one
Tool explainers are everywhere already. What's missing is how to choose which piece of your own work to tackle first. Pick wrong, and a month of trying won't save you any time; pick well, and you'll see it in a day.

First we measure what you can do now
Bring to mind one task you currently do. Three tests tell you whether it suits automation. Fail any one and it is not yet that task.
My starting tier

Prompt templates you can use straight away
We won't name specific tools. Tools change often, but the way of phrasing things below works the same no matter which tool you use.
Like this: "You are (a role). Follow (three conditions) and produce (a deliverable)."
Without conditions you get a different answer every time. Three conditions steady the output.
Like this: "Good example: … / Bad example: … Use that as the standard to fix what's below."
Two examples beat ten lines of explanation. Giving a bad example alongside is the key.
Like this: "If you're not sure, don't make something up — answer 'I don't know.'"
Without this one line, plausible falsehoods creep in — and checking costs far more.
Like this: "Before giving your answer, first list five items to check whether it's correct."
Without a way to check the output in thirty seconds, a person ends up reviewing all of it again.
Like this: "If any of the conditions below apply, don't process it — flag it as 'needs human review' instead."
Without a place to hand it to a person when it fails, one slip sends everything back to being done by hand.

A first automation schedule
You don't build it all at once. You move through three stages in order. At each stage, you check whether it actually saved you time before moving to the next.
| Tier | What do we do | Good work for a first automation |
|---|---|---|
| A | The stage of choosing the task. Nothing is built yet. | Drafting repetitive email replies · tidying meeting notes · summarising material · generating title candidates |
| B | Templates 01–03 are used to produce only a draft. A person always reviews the result. | Run the same task five times and time it |
| C | Add templates 04–05 to build in checking and rollback. | Get this far and it barely needs your hand |

Just keep this rule
- Add just one thing at a time. Start two at once, and you won't know which one actually saved you time.
- Time it. Before you add anything, write down how many minutes the task takes, then time it again afterward. It always feels faster — check that it actually is.
- Don't skip the human-review step from the start. You can drop it later, once you're comfortable — there's no rush.
- Don't memorize tools. Just think about how many times their names have changed over the past few years. Keep the way you phrase things, and you can swap the tool out any time.
- Check before you enter other people's data. If you're putting customer information or contract details into an outside tool, find out where that data travels first.
If you finished one
Next is 〈Builder Class〉. Rather than stopping at using what others made, you build a tool that fits your own work — designing the flow that gathers and sorts material, and attaching the checking rules.

Note · We recommend no particular tool or service. Tools change; the way of asking and the criteria for choosing set down here hold in any tool. Before putting material into an outside tool, please check that service's handling policy first.
