A year-long blueprint for codifying your business with AI: one workflow, one skill at a time
evielync · x · 2026-09-17
After a year of codifying her business with AI, the author's core lesson: it doesn't happen overnight, and forcing speed only makes systems fail. Her exact blueprint:
- Choose one workflow at a time.
- Run it manually first, working alongside your agent in chat until you understand how the flow operates with AI in the mix.
- Ask the agent to turn the workflow into a skill — skills are the earned, externalized knowledge of running that workflow together.
- Once it's boringly reliable, move to the next skill.
Days, weeks and months later, the system starts working for you.
