Toolkit — Resources & Templates

Structured tools for the AI Artisan.

How to Use This Toolkit

Workflow

  • Use templates to start tasks with clarity.
  • Use checklists to review drafts systematically.
  • Use scorecards to verify accuracy and measure value.
  • Use logs to store your final prompts and outputs for reuse.

Integration

Combine tools as needed depending on your workflow. These resources are designed to work independently or as a connected system (TESSERA™).

Toolkit Ecosystem A horizontal flow: Templates -> Checklists -> Scorecards -> Logs. TEMPLATES (Define Intent) CHECKLISTS (Refine Drafts) SCORECARDS (Verify & Value) LOGS (Store & Reuse)

Templates (CLARITY-7™)

Templates provide structure for common tasks. Each uses CLARITY-7™ to define purpose, audience, constraints, tone, format, inputs, and expected output.

3.1 Intent Template 
### Intent Template (CLARITY-7™)
1. Purpose: [Why are you doing this?]
2. Audience: [Who is this for?]
3. Required Inputs: [Data/Context provided]
4. Constraints: [Boundaries/Limits]
5. Tone: [Style/Voice]
6. Format: [Structure of result]
7. Expected Output: [What specifically should be produced?]
3.2 Research Request 
### Research Request Template
Goal: [Specific knowledge needed]
Scope: [Breadth vs Depth]
Sources: [Preferred source types]
Constraints: [Date range, exclusions]
Evaluation Criteria: [How to judge relevance]
Deliverable Format: [Summary/Bullet points/Report]
3.3 Content Drafting 
### Content Drafting Template
Topic: [Subject]
Audience: [Reader profile]
Style Rules: [Voice guidelines]
Structure Requirements: [Headings/Sections]
Length: [Word count range]
Quality Targets: [Clarity/Engagement]
Output Format: [Markdown/Email/Doc]
3.4 Problem-Solving 
### Problem-Solving Template
Problem Statement: [Clear definition]
Relevant Context: [Background info]
Constraints: [Budget/Time/Resources]
Available Data: [Inputs provided]
Desired Outcome: [What success looks like]
Validation Method: [How to test solution]
Required Steps: [Logical sequence]

Checklists (SPARK-5™)

Checklists reduce blind spots. Use these principles to refine clarity, alignment, structure, and consistency.

4.1 Pre-Prompt

  • □ Purpose defined
  • □ Audience specified
  • □ Constraints added
  • □ Format selected
  • □ Success criteria set

4.2 Post-Draft

  • □ Irrelevant content removed
  • □ Structure consistent
  • □ Tone correct
  • □ Examples accurate
  • □ Steps complete

4.3 Context Completeness

  • □ Background included
  • □ Domain rules stated
  • □ Edge cases noted
  • □ Scope defined
  • □ Expected boundaries set

Scorecards

Evaluate quality and value using MIRROR-6™ (Accuracy) and VALOR-Δ (Value).

5.1 Accuracy (MIRROR-6™)

Rate 1–5 (Pass/Fail)

  • Meaning: Matches intent?
  • Integrity: Correct facts?
  • Relevance: On topic?
  • Reliability: Reproducible?
  • Outcome alignment: Fits goal?
  • Repeatability: Process clear?

5.2 Value (VALOR-Δ)

Rate 1–5

  • Value: Utility
  • Alignment: Fit
  • Leverage: Efficiency
  • Outcome Quality: Impact
  • Repeatability: Stability
  • Δ Improvement: Gain over manual

5.3 Workflow Quality

Checklist

  • Clarity of steps
  • Logic flow
  • Checkpoints present
  • Efficiency
  • Completeness
  • Adaptability

Logs & Archives (TESSERA™)

Logs retain progress and create a personal library. Copy these structures to your note-taking system.

6.1 Prompt Log 
Task: [Name]
Date: [YYYY-MM-DD] | Version: [v1.0]
Context: [Situation]
Final Prompt: [Paste exact text]
Refinement Notes: [What you changed]
Verification Results: [Pass/Fail]
Final Output: [Link or Summary]
6.2 Workflow Log 
Workflow Name: [Title]
Steps: [1, 2, 3...]
Checkpoints: [Verification steps]
Validation Notes: [Did it work?]
Value Score: [1-5]
Final Decision: [Keep/Refine/Discard]
6.3 Improvement Log 
Initial State: [Baseline]
Refinements Applied: [Changes]
MIRROR-6™ Results: [Pass/Fail]
VALOR-Δ Score: [Before vs After]
Outcome Comparison: [Notes]
Next Revision Plan: [Action]

Field Tools

Small, fast tools for everyday use.

7.1 Pattern Selector

Choose the right reasoning pattern:

  • Divergent Generation: For brainstorming.
  • Convergent Selection: For narrowing options.
  • Multi-Stage Reasoning: For complex logic.
  • Constraint-Driven Shaping: For specific formats.
  • Transformation Steps: For rewriting/formatting.

7.2 Workflow Builder

Step-by-step creator for common task structures. Supports planning, sequencing, and defining checkpoints.

7.3 Verification Protocol

A simplified MIRROR-6™ form for quick checks. Extremely useful during fast iteration cycles.

7.4 Δ Tracker

A compact VALOR-Δ tracker for recording improvements across versions. Focuses on the "Delta" (Change).

Practical Examples

8.1 Using an Intent Template

  1. Fill the CLARITY-7 fields for a writing task.
  2. Generate a first draft.
  3. Refine using SPARK-5™.
  4. Verify with MIRROR-6™.

8.2 Using a Scorecard

  1. Apply MIRROR-6™ to a product description.
  2. Document scores (1-5).
  3. Improve the weak areas.
  4. Re-score to measure Δ.

8.3 Using a Log

  1. Complete a task.
  2. Capture the final prompt and output.
  3. Add notes on what worked.
  4. Save for future reuse.

Best Practices

  • Keep templates simple and consistent.
  • Avoid unnecessary fields.
  • Use checklists before and after generation.
  • Score outputs regularly to build accuracy habits.
  • Store every major prompt and workflow.
  • Reuse successful tools instead of rebuilding them.
