Capstone: ship your bench tool
Build-along · ~20 min at your own keyboard
Everything converges here: pick one real recurring need in your business, assemble the pieces you've built across this track, directive, scripts, verification, schedule or webhook, logging. Into a tool that a working agent could actually use tomorrow. You don't graduate into a certificate. You graduate with a shipped tool that runs whether you show up or not.
Your starter: One-page tool doc
TemplateMake it yours: Fill it for the tool you actually built and ran. Delete any line that does not apply, and add the one step future-you will forget.
TOOL: [name] WHAT IT DOES: [one sentence: input -> output] TRIGGER: [the schedule, or the event that starts it, e.g. a run-complete notification] INPUTS: [the exports or files it reads, and where they live] STEPS: 1. [ ] 2. [ ] 3. [ ] OUTPUT: [what it makes] -> LANDS IN: [folder or sheet] CHECKS IT RUNS: [the verify step, and what it marks VERIFIED / FAILED] CANNOT ASSESS: [e.g. whether a result is real, whether the run worked] - these stay with a person. LOG: [where each run writes a line, with a timestamp] WHEN IT FAILS: [what a FAIL line looks like, and who reads it] REVIEW: [who reviews the output, and how long it takes] TO FIX IT: [where the scripts live, and the one thing future-you will forget] EVIDENCE Runs: [count and date range, with log lines] Output sample: [paste one] Failure it survived: [what broke, what caught it, what you changed] Demo: [who you showed it to, and when]
The coach checks that what you paste back is your own work. The starter pasted back unchanged won't pass.

Paste your one-page tool doc (trimmed) plus the evidence set: log lines, an output sample, who you demoed it to, and any failure it recovered from.
