The Tuesday class

Every week stands alone; Flint carries. Do the week's lessons here, then save the one thing you brought back from class. It lands in your Playbook with the week tag, and your level moves on the ladder. The homework under each week feeds the next one.

  1. Week 1 · Steal My Stack

    Level 0 · Get set up

    Bring back: The assistant you picked and the privacy switch you set.

    Before week 2: Use the assistant you picked for one real task a day. Keep three emails or posts of your own that sound like you; week 2 turns them into your voice profile.

  2. Week 2 · Clone Yourself

    Level 2 · Give it your context

    Bring back: Your voice profile and one draft it wrote in your voice.

    Before week 3: Send three real messages drafted in your voice and fix what sounds off. Write down the one task you dread most each week; week 3 hands that job over.

  3. Week 3 · Death to Busywork

    Level 4 · Automate

    Bring back: The task you dread, written as trigger, steps and output, and its first scheduled run.

    Before week 4: Let the scheduled job run three times and note each miss. Gather the five files you look for most; week 4 teaches the assistant to find them.

  4. Week 4 · Where'd I Put That?

    Level 2 · Give it your context

    Bring back: One answer cited from your own files, and your keep-out list.

    Before week 5: Ask three questions from your own files and open every citation. List two things you keep meaning to publish; week 5 writes the first one.

  5. Week 5 · Blank Page, Solved

    Level 1 · Ask it well

    Bring back: One piece of content you would publish, and the prompt that made it.

    Before week 6: Publish the piece, or send it to one person for a read. Notice the one household job that eats an evening; week 6 takes it.

  6. Week 6 · AI Comes Home

    Level 1 · Ask it well

    Bring back: One household job done with AI, and one thing you chose not to paste.

    Before week 7: Run the household job once more without the lesson open. Export last month's expenses to a spreadsheet; week 7 reads it.

  7. Week 7 · Follow the Money

    Level 1 · Ask it well

    Bring back: A summary that cites the cells it came from.

    Before week 8: Open three cells the summary cited and fix any miss. Pick one real meeting on next week's calendar; week 8 preps it.

  8. Week 8 · Know Before You Call

    Level 1 · Ask it well

    Bring back: A one-page brief for a real meeting this week.

    Before week 9: Use the brief in the meeting and note what it got wrong. Write the one rule you would never let a tool break; week 9 starts from it.

  9. Week 9 · Hire a Robot

    Level 3 · Connect it

    Bring back: Your three gate rules and the connected source. Human review this week.

    Before week 10: Run the connected source for a week with the gates on and keep a note of every approval you refused. Describe in one page the tool you wish you had; week 10 builds it.

  10. Week 10 · Ship It Without an Engineer

    Level 5 · Build

    Bring back: The link, and what the first other person tripped on. Human review this week.

    Before week 11: Give the link to one more person and write down what they tripped on. List what would break if nobody watched; week 11 wires the alert.

  11. Week 11 · Set It and Forget It

    Level 4 · Automate

    Bring back: Your failure alert, and proof it fired when you broke it on purpose.

    Before week 12: Break it on purpose once more and confirm the alert fires. Gather the evidence: the runs, the alert, the link; week 12 is the show.

  12. Week 12 · Show Us What You Built

    Level 6 · Run a personal OS

    Bring back: The full-run evidence. Human review this week.

    After class: Keep the system running and answer the day-7 check-in on your page. There is no week 13; the ladder carries from here.
