How these videos were made

Pick one task you repeat, such as a weekly update email, a social post or a meeting summary. On paper, sketch it as a 3–4 step pipeline:

• Write each step as a box: what goes in → what comes out.
• Under each box, write what you could open and check.
• Put a ✋ on the step where a human must check before it goes further.

You're done when your sketch has 3–4 boxes, every box produces something checkable, and there's at least one ✋.

• A pipeline is a chain of small steps, each feeding the next.
• Splitting the work means every step leaves something you can check and trace.
• The four harness jobs still apply: files as context, tools that run, a human yes before publishing, and a fix-and-rebuild loop.

Next lesson (8.2): when splitting work across several agents at once helps, and when it causes a mess.
