Workflow
AI Content Strategy Workflow
Decide what to publish and why before you write a word — set the business goals and audience, map needs to topics, brief the priority pieces, then turn it into a content plan you publish against.
Resource
Content Strategy Prompt Workflow
A sequential prompt workflow for content strategy: audience first, then goals, competitor gaps, topic clusters, defensible angles, and a publishing plan with a review loop.
Tool
Multi-Step Prompt Builder
Break a big goal into a sequential prompt workflow — each step with an objective, prompt, and expected output.
Step 2 of 5
Structure the docs site
An information architecture with a clear reading path.

Workflow
AI Website Structure Workflow
Organize a site so people and crawlers find things — inventory the content, group it into a real hierarchy, design the sitemap and navigation, then document the information architecture for the build.
Resource
Sitemap & Site IA Spec Prompt — Pages, Navigation, and Structure
Turn website goals, audiences, content types, and conversion paths into a sitemap and information-architecture spec: navigation, a page inventory, hierarchy, URLs, user journeys, and an internal-linking plan.
Tool
Markdown Output Builder
Build prompts that produce documents in a fixed structure — headings, sections, and tables.
Step 3 of 5
Write the guides and concepts
Guides and conceptual docs that explain and walk through tasks.

Workflow
AI Content Writing Workflow
Turn source material and a target audience into clear docs, help, or knowledge-base content — gather the material, outline the piece, write it section by section, then check it for clarity and gaps.
Resource
Technical Documentation Prompt
Overview, Key Concepts, How It Works, Usage, Troubleshooting — docs pages with the same shape for every feature, and code in every usage section.
Tool
Markdown Output Builder
Build prompts that produce documents in a fixed structure — headings, sections, and tables.
Step 4 of 5
Write the API reference
A complete, consistent API reference.

Workflow
AI Code Documentation Workflow
Generate documentation that matches the code instead of drifting from it — have AI explain what the code really does, write it up as structured docs, then validate the format holds.
Resource
API Documentation Prompt
Overview, Authentication, Endpoints, Error Handling, Rate Limits — endpoint docs in an identical structure, with parameter tables and runnable examples forced.
Tool
Markdown Output Builder
Build prompts that produce documents in a fixed structure — headings, sections, and tables.
Step 5 of 5
Ship the docs site
The documentation site shipped with a repeatable publish path.

Workflow
AI Deployment & Release Workflow
Cross the gap between 'tests pass' and 'safe in production' — assess release readiness, plan the deploy and its rollback, and set up the monitoring and launch checks before you ship, not after.
Resource
Production Readiness Review Prompt
SHIP or DO NOT SHIP: twelve checks on failure modes, observability, rollback, and load — the review that happens before the incident.
Tool
Markdown Output Builder
Build prompts that produce documents in a fixed structure — headings, sections, and tables.
