Automation charter — one job, limits, stop
L2–L5 · Capable–Builder (bootstrap — system rebalances) · ~5m
Look for this insight
Before automating anything with AI, write the charter: the job, the inputs it may touch, the limits, and the stop condition.
Lesson hook
Automation without a charter is an intern with no job description and your passwords. Four lines before anything runs: the job, what it may touch, what it must never do, and when it stops. If you can't write the charter, you're not ready to automate.
Do this now
Pick one task you'd love to automate. Write the 4-line charter: job, allowed inputs, never-do list, stop condition. You're done when the charter exists — whether or not you ever build the thing.
