The anatomy

What this playbook carries.

A playbook is not a prompt template. It is the working method: the inputs, steps, review gate, visible evidence, review record, and version history around recurring AI-assisted work.

Required context

  • Source packet
  • Thesis
  • Audience notes
  • Verification checklist

Review gate

Editor verifies source coverage and claim boundaries.

Review record

Each record holds what was reviewed, the evidence it was built from, where a human signed off, and the version it proposes.

The record one run leaves behind.

Every reviewed run leaves the same record: what was reviewed, the evidence it was built from, where a human signed off, and the version the next run inherits.
