Methodology Library · 94 templates · Updated monthly

The AI Methodology Library

Most AI agencies say “we use AI” and stop there. We publish the prompts, the models, the phases of the build they apply to, and the human time each one replaces. Take any template into your own team.

Four principles

How the library is built

Templates, not client work

Every template in the library is a process pattern. Client information never leaves the engagement; what we publish is generic, reproducible, and yours to take.

Model named, phase declared

Each template lists the model it was tested against and the phase of the build it belongs to. No "AI did it" handwave.

Human time replaced, measured

Every template carries an estimate of human time it replaces. Where the estimate is fuzzy, we say so.

Updated monthly, with changelog

Models evolve. We re-test the library each month, retire templates that no longer beat their replacements, and publish the diff.

Categories

Seven categories, 94 templates

~60% time reductionLast updated 2 weeks ago

Where AI accelerates our work

  • Boilerplate code (components, CRUD, tests). 40% of lines written with AI assistance.
  • Discovery prep (competitor research, ICP analysis). Saves 2 to 3h per client.
  • First-pass code review. Catches style issues, obvious bugs, missing edge cases before human review.
  • Documentation drafts. 60% time reduction. A senior edits, doesn't write from scratch.
  • Sprint retro synthesis. 45 minutes of notes turn into structured actions in 8 minutes.

Where we don't use AI, and why

  • Load-bearing architecture decisions. A senior engineer makes these, documented in writing.
  • Security-sensitive code (auth, payments, encryption). Human-only, no AI suggestions merged without full manual review.
  • Final client-facing copy. AI drafts, a human approves every word.
  • Anything with your confidential business logic. It stays in your codebase, never in a shared AI context.

FAQ

Common questions on the library

Why publish your AI methodology?

A claim without receipts is a pitch. The methodology library lets a prospect verify the work pattern before signing a contract, and lets a client reuse the templates after delivery without contacting us. It is the most reliable signal of how we actually build.

Are these templates safe to use with client data?

Yes. The templates are generic process patterns. They do not contain client data and they describe how to structure a prompt, not what to put inside it. We use the same templates across engagements with different data.

What's in the changelog?

Model swaps (e.g., a code-review prompt migrating from one Claude version to another), new templates added, retired templates with the reason, and process changes (e.g., regression prompts moving to every PR rather than release branches).

Can I take a template into my own team?

Yes. Every template is published under a permissive license. Clone, fork, adapt. We track adoption signals to know which templates need polishing or replacement.

How does this differ from a typical "AI playbook"?

Typical AI playbooks are slide decks listing tools. This library names prompts, the model used, the phase applied, and the human time replaced. It can be diffed quarter over quarter.
