Building the Guide That Makes Everything Else Work

The unglamorous work that makes everything else possible

This is a paid issue. If you’ve been following along, you’ve done the homework from last issue and you have a feel for the tools. This is where we get into the actual work.


Last issue ended with a transparency note: the methodology I described is the one I used to write the issue describing it. A voice guide plus project knowledge, Claude as the primary tool, my thinking and examples throughout.

This issue is about building that guide. Not the concept of it, we covered that. The actual components, where the material comes from, how to feed it to the tool, and what to do when it still doesn’t sound right. By the end you should have enough to build a working first version.

Part of my actual, living, writing guide. It wasn’t written for me or any other person, it’s all function over form.

Working is the key word. It will not be perfect. We will get to that.
