Practical guides

Guides.

Guides answer a question you already have. Where a thought piece argues a position you can agree or disagree with, a guide tells you how something actually works: who owns a decision, what evidence moves it, and what it costs to get it wrong. Each one names its sources, carries the date it was last checked, and invites correction — dated, not definitive.

Published guides

Your TTO is the counterparty to bring on-side, not to work around. These kits are written to help you arrive at that conversation with the evidence assembled, not to route around it. The question at every step is what must be true before my TTO can say yes.

How guides and kits fit together

A guide carries the explanation. A prompt kit does the work — it turns the guide’s evidence classes into a working document for one specific technology, in a single LLM conversation. Where a guide has a companion kit, it is named above and linked from the guide itself.

The full kit catalogue, indexed by pathway stage, is at the prompt toolkit.

Corrections

These guides are dated, not definitive. Each will be wrong somewhere before it is wrong everywhere, and each carries its own changelog. If something has changed, or was never right, tell us: hello@spinupforge.com.
