Build Your First Capability Template

Stop reinventing. One self-contained file. One door your agent can always find.

The Problem

Your agent does everything at once. Research bleeds into creative work. System config bleeds into social media. There's no boundary between domains — and by the time you notice the contamination, the output is already wrong.

The Solution

By now your agent has rules, memory, trigger words, context control, and a boot chain. Useful — but fragile if every new capability is invented from scratch. One task gets a checklist. Another gets a prompt. A third gets buried in a project note. Six sessions later your agent knows the capability exists somewhere, but cannot reliably find it or run it.

This course gives you the container. A capability template is one self-contained file that tells the agent what the capability is, when it triggers, what tools it uses, what sequence it follows, what it must never do, how it logs results, and how to test that it survived a fresh session. It is not a plugin. It is not code. It is a repeatable operating manual written for the next instance.

Real examples from the JKE ecosystem show the pattern: an Update Shield protocol that snapshots config before upgrades, rolls back on failure, and survives across platform versions. A Sun Run playbook that defines bounded sprints with mandatory QA gates and a hard production lock. A Focus Group methodology that controls context variables, picks profiles, and extracts patterns. All three began as the same structure you are about to build: trigger, purpose, sequence, hard stops, survival test. After this course, your repeatable work stops becoming scattered notes. It becomes doors your agent can find again.

You will: build your first capability template — the workflow you describe to your agent most often.
