Episode notes
Context Beats Basic Scheduling
- Scheduling AIs often fail because they lack deep user context and priorities.
- Building a chief-of-staff persona targets that contextual gap by encoding priorities and expertise.
Define Non-Competencies For Stability
- Combining persona, skills, and explicit non-competencies produces a stable AI role.
- Defining what the AI must not do (non-competencies) narrows errors and keeps behavior consistent.
Make Protocols Reusable With Macros
- Store your chief-of-staff protocol as a reusable source document and invoke it when needed.
- Use TextExpander or similar macros to feed the full protocol into different LLMs for repeatable results.
