The Production Kit
How I build and run software in production, for real clients, with two AI sessions and written rules.
Get the free chapter ↓I've been building for the web since 2004. Themes, WordPress sites, then platforms. For the last year and a half I've built with AI, on real projects for clients in four countries: a course platform for lawyers, dealer websites, a catalog and CRM for a Xerox reseller, and CarDealerTool, my own SaaS for independent car dealers in the US. Two Claude Code sessions do the work. One plans the job and checks the report. One writes the code. Written rules keep both of them honest, because AI works fast and is wrong with confidence.
The Production Kit is what came out of those projects: the rules, the job and report format, the deploy with rollback, the memory between sessions, and the real case behind every rule. Live projects, real clients. Not examples.
What's inside
- RULES.md: what the AI may do, what it may never do, and why each line is there.
- The job format and the three-line report: done, proof, next.
- The plan/code protocol: two sessions, one accountable human.
- Deploy with automatic rollback: the one that can't take the site down.
- Memory between sessions: what to save, what not to, one fact per file.
- The onboarding runbook for a new client.
- The real cases behind every rule, from a SaaS in production.
For developers who started with AI and want to do it right, in production, for someone who pays. If you'd rather have me build and run it for you, that's here.
