AI Operating Standard

Resources

Useful things to build with.

Start with the current Standard and a real workflow. Use the templates as a convenience, the examples as evidence, and the older library for deeper reference.

A small starting kit. Adapt it to your work.

Context brief, source register, memory and decision record, capture-to-commitment review, action matrix, workflow card, and operating review with recovery checks. Readable Markdown files; no special app required.

There is no required file count. Keep the information in your existing systems when that works better. A filled template is not a passed operating test.

The useful work behind the Standard.

Groundwork is the earlier body of guides, templates, and technical education. These links open that original library.

Historical editions

Older pages and PDFs retain Groundwork branding and their original six-layer or document-count framing. The current Standard governs the build sequence, source handling, permissions, and definitions of done. These references have not been rewritten as the current program.
