The Playbook Creator | She Leads AI

A teaching session goes in and a playbook comes out, about four pages, written so someone can act on it the day she reads it.

What It Is

Give it the transcript from any session you taught, a workshop or a cohort call, and it finds the frameworks you taught and the steps you demonstrated, then drafts one tight section per topic. You approve the outcome sentence and the section map before a single word is drafted, so the playbook says what you meant to teach. Messy transcripts are welcome.

When to Reach for It

Reach for it after you have taught something and people need a take-home they will actually use. Use it when a recap would get filed and forgotten, and what you want instead is the shortest document that changes what someone does next.

What You Get Back

One sentence governing the whole playbook, agreed with you before drafting starts.
A proposed section map of only the topics that earn a section, which you approve or reorder.
Every section in the same pattern, with the concept in plain language and steps sized to single actions.
Resources pointed to rather than pasted in, so the document stays short and the resources stay current.
Closing questions that push application instead of recall, written to one reader rather than to participants.

What You Will Need to Change

Tell it which brand the session ran under and where participants find the course materials, since it points at those rather than copying them. Everything else comes from your own transcript.

Make it yours. Read it through and adapt it before you run it — your tools, your people, your way of working. It is built to be changed.

--- name: playbook-creator version: 1.0.0 description: > Use when the user says "create a playbook", "make a playbook from this transcript", "turn this into an implementation guide", "build a learning guide from this session", or "playbook this." Also triggers on "participants need something to take home" or "what can people use after the workshop." Transforms teaching session transcripts into concise, action-focused playbooks adult learners can implement immediately. --- # Playbook Creator ## Banned Words Gate — Hardwired Before drafting or presenting any output, read the live banned list fresh. Never rely on a remembered version of it, and never state a count of how many items it holds — the list changes often and the file is the only source. - `your-workspace\slai-skills-gallery\team\brand-enforcement\banned-items.md` - `your-workspace\slai-skills-gallery\team\brand-enforcement\word-swaps.md` Check every draft against the current list before it is shown. If the files cannot be read, stop and say so — never proceed on memory. ## Context Required - The teaching session transcript (paste or upload) - Confirm which brand this is under (SLAI, EF, ACA, other) - Confirm where participants access course materials (URL or platform) ## Steps 1. Read the full transcript and identify the core frameworks taught, step-by-step processes demonstrated, tools mentioned, and natural topic breaks 2. Confirm the central outcome with the user — "By the end, participants will be able to..." — get agreement before writing 3. Propose section structure (3-6 topics) and get approval before drafting 4. Write each section using the standard pattern below — concept, steps, resources pointer, take-it-further questions 5. Cut everything that doesn't serve implementation — target 4 pages, no exceptions without good reason 6. Run brand enforcement if output is external-facing 7. Present draft and iterate based on user feedback ## Output Exact format for each section: ``` ## [Topic Name] [2-3 sentence concept explanation. Include the why.] ### How to Do This 1. [One specific action — "Open Google Sheets" level, not "Set up tracking"] 2. [Next action] 3. [Continue] ### Resources Find [specific resource name] in the [location] section of [platform/site]. ### Take It Further - [Question that pushes application, not recall] - [Question that challenges an assumption] - [Question that asks for the 10x version] ``` Opening block (before sections): ``` # [Action-Oriented Title] By the end of this playbook, you'll be able to [specific outcome]. [2-3 sentence overview. No more.] ``` ## Gotchas I know you'll want to cover every topic in the transcript — don't. Pick the 3 that matter most. A 12-page playbook is a failed playbook. I know you'll want to embed full templates in the playbook — don't. Point to where they live. I know you'll want to write steps at "analyze the situation" level — don't. Break it down until each step is a single, doable action. I know you'll want to write Take It Further questions that recap content — don't. "What did you learn" is not a question. Push assumptions and next-level application only. I know you'll want to invent a sequence if the transcript is unclear — don't. Ask before assuming an order. I know you'll want to address the reader as "participants" or "learners" — don't. Always "you." I know you'll want to skip brand enforcement on something that feels internal — don't. Run it if the output leaves this conversation. ## Works With **Chains upstream from** - Any teaching session transcript (MANDATORY) — SS, ACA, CoP, office hours, workshop; paste or provide a Fireflies ID - `ss-content-processing` (OPTIONAL) — if content atoms already exist, use them as the extraction base instead of re-mining the transcript **Chains downstream to** - No automatic downstream — playbook is a standalone deliverable. Can be vaulted or pushed to Notion after Anne approves. **Pairs well with** - `slai-aeo-seo` — run after draft to verify discoverability if the playbook is published externally - `brand-enforcement` — required before any external distribution **Standalone mode** Produces a complete, implementation-ready playbook from any transcript. No upstream or downstream skills required. ## Check-Ins After first draft, ask - Are you editing the output right now? What are you changing? - Is the 4-page limit working or do you need more room for this content? - Are the Take It Further questions pushing far enough? Before wrapping up, ask - Any failure patterns to add to gotchas? - What else can I take off your plate? ## Changelog | Date | Version | What Changed | |------|---------|-------------| | 04.12.26 | 1.0.0 | Migrated from Drive.
