Free playbookTwo-page brief + full prompt library
The Orchestrator Playbook
Run an engineering org where you orchestrate and the machine executes. Not a project doc — a portable operating manual you attach as context to any AI agent and run, phase by phase.
What's inside
Part I is the two-page brief: what the orchestrator model is, how it runs, why it works, and how it maps to what the strongest AI-native teams do today. Part II is the copy-paste prompt library you actually run:
- Stand up the brain (greenfield) — the cross-repo source of truth
- Seed the contracts from an existing repo, once per repo
- The phased pipeline: Spec → Schema → Backend → Client → Close-out
- Run features in parallel with git-worktree capsules
- Review before merge, against the spec
- Debug & incident triage, including multi-surface parallel triage
- Infra, deploy & release — flags, migrations, store releases
- Contract & ADR upkeep, and a three-day teammate onboarding ramp
This is the exact system behind Stop Prompting, Start Orchestrating, deployed across 10+ companies. Published openly so your team can install it without us.
