Upgrade your business to AI Level 4.5
Everything from the webinar, in one page that works offline: the nine-chapter build, the starter vault, twenty-two ready-made skills, and the model cheat sheet. Work through it in order, or take just the piece you need today.
The climb to AI Level 4.5
Six levels sit between typing into a fresh chat and a business that mostly runs itself. Almost everyone stalls at three. This kit is the climb from three to four and a half.
Level four is a Brain your models can read and act on. The half is the habit that keeps it there. The kit walks the whole climb — and names the two levels above it.
The Structure Interview
Your job in this chapter: answer questions and say yes. Claude does everything else — every folder, every file move, every word of your constitution.
What the interview is
The starter vault you downloaded ships with a skill called the Structure Interview — about 30 questions, the ground a good General Manager would cover in their first week. What the business sells and where the money comes from. How a job actually flows from enquiry to paid. Where your own time goes. Who does what, who decides what, which tools run the place, what's written down and what lives in heads. And then: what you expect with Claude in place — the jobs it takes first, the things it must never touch, what "worth it" looks like in three months.
Almost every question comes with lettered answers, so most replies are a single letter. You can always type your own answer instead. Claude also reads whatever files you've put in the folder first, so it confirms what it can see rather than asking you things your own documents already answer.
When the questions are done, Claude proposes a folder structure shaped around your answers — your words, your workflows — and waits. Nothing is created, moved, or changed until you say yes. On the yes, Claude builds the whole tree, files every document you gave it, flags anything it wasn't sure about rather than guessing, and writes your constitution.
The rest of Chapter 1 — and the eight after it
You have just seen the interview that starts a Brain. What follows is the part that turns the answers into a working folder — and then eight more chapters that fill it.
- The rest of Chapter 1 — from answers to a structure that holds
- Chapters 2–8 — the wiki, the graph, the index, the habits
- The starter vault — the folder, ready to go
- Skills, agents, cheat sheet — the whole toolkit
Step one — the shoebox
The fifteen minutes before Chapter 1 that decide whether your Brain sounds like your business or like everyone else in your industry. It is the step other kits skip, and the one that does the most work.
- What step one is — the move that comes before the interview
- What to gather — what earns its place, and what wastes the fifteen minutes
- The bar — how much is enough, and what falling short costs you later
- Where it lands — the one move that sets Chapter 1 up to do the rest
The starter vault
The folder every chapter builds into, zipped and ready to drop on your desktop — numbered folders, the constitution template, and the first notes already in place.
- The folder tree — set up the way the guide uses it
- The constitution template — the file Claude reads first
- Starter notes — so the Brain is never staring at an empty folder
- One download — unzip, point Claude at it, start
The full worked example
One business taken end to end: the complete interview run, the structure that came out of it, and the finished Brain — the long version of what Chapter 1 only starts.
- All thirty questions — the run in full, not the excerpt
- The proposed structure — and why it was shaped that way
- The finished folder — what it looks like once it is working
- Everything quotable — wording you can reuse as-is
Skills, Agents and the Council
The templates behind everything in the kit — how a skill is written, how an agent is briefed, and how a council of agents argues a decision out before it reaches you.
- The skill template — the shape every skill follows
- The agent template — brief, tools, and boundaries
- The Council — several agents, one decision
- House standards — so what you write next still fits
The model cheat sheet
Which model to reach for, when, and what it costs you in time — the page most people end up keeping open all day.
- Model by job — the pick for each kind of work
- When to switch — the tells that you are on the wrong one
- Speed and cost — the trade-off in plain terms
- One page — printable, no hunting
Twenty-two ready-made skills
Skills are the jobs your Brain already knows how to do. Twenty-two of them ship with the kit, written and tested — drop the folder in and they work.
- Twenty-two skills — grouped by the work they do
- Written out in full — read them, edit them, keep them
- One-click pack — or take them one at a time
- Works in both — Cowork and Claude Code
Eleven ready-made agents
Agents are the specialists — each one briefed for a single kind of work so it stays sharp. Eleven come with the kit, in two packs.
- Eleven agents — in two packs
- Each one briefed — scope, tools, and when to call it
- Ready to install — no setup beyond the folder
- Built to be edited — they are just text
Terminal, without the fear
The one-page setup for people who have never opened a terminal — every command written out, with what it does and what you should see back.
- Every command — copy, paste, done
- Mac and Windows — both paths, side by side
- What good looks like — the output to expect
- When it goes wrong — the three usual causes
The Agent Command Centre
The dashboard that sits over the whole Brain — see what your agents are doing, kick off work, and keep the whole thing under one roof.
- One place — every agent, one screen
- Install guide — the full README, in the kit
- Runs locally — your folder, your machine
- Open source — yours to change
