AI craft checklist

Before you open a model

• [ ] I can finish: I want help with _ so that _.
• [ ] I know what “good” looks like in one sentence
• [ ] I know what must not leave this machine

While you work

• [ ] One primary task per thread
• [ ] Constraints and audience are stated
• [ ] I asked for assumptions and weak points
• [ ] I can point to evidence for anything high-risk

Before you ship

• [ ] A skeptic could check the claim in under ten minutes
• [ ] A human owns the last decision
• [ ] I saved the pattern that worked (or the miss that taught me)

Pulse rule (dated takes only)

Ask before publishing a news take:

1. Does this change how someone should work with a model this week?
2. What would a skeptic check before trusting the claim?
3. Can we say it in a few hundred words without a CTA wall?

If the answer is only “it trends,” do not publish.
