Find the work worth improving
Free CSLM field kit
The AI Consultant Starter System.
Twelve reusable prompts for finding, designing, testing, and measuring one practical small-business AI workflow.
Free to use. No email required. These are working prompt templates—not autonomous software, certification, or guaranteed business results.

Control the workflow before building
Specify prompts, operations, and tests
Decide from evidence, not excitement
Use one at a time
A smaller system is easier to trust.
Copy a prompt, replace the words “this workflow” with your real situation, and answer with non-sensitive information. Ask the agent to mark assumptions and cite the source of any factual claim.
Do not paste passwords, payment data, private customer records, health information, or other regulated information into a general AI chat.
Workflow Opportunity Finder
Turns recurring frustrations into a ranked shortlist of practical automation candidates.
Open starter prompt +
Act as a workflow opportunity analyst. Interview me about repeated work, delays, re-entry, errors, and handoffs in my business. Ask one question at a time. Produce a shortlist ranked by frequency, time cost, business impact, reversibility, and data sensitivity. Do not recommend a tool until the workflow is clear.
Tool Stack Mapper
Shows where systems overlap, disconnect, or require the same information twice.
Open starter prompt +
Map my current software stack. For each tool, capture its purpose, owner, data entered, data produced, integrations, monthly cost, and failure points. Identify duplicate capabilities and manual transfers. Separate confirmed facts from assumptions and ask before filling any gap.
AI Readiness Interviewer
Checks whether a proposed workflow is stable, observable, and safe enough for a pilot.
Open starter prompt +
Assess one workflow for AI readiness. Check task stability, input quality, exception rate, privacy, permissions, consequences of error, current baseline, human ownership, and rollback. End with Ready, Needs preparation, or Do not automate yet, and explain the evidence for the rating.
Process Mapper
Documents the current workflow before anyone redesigns it.
Open starter prompt +
Create an as-is process map from my description. List the trigger, each step, system used, owner, input, output, waiting time, decision, exception, and final result. Mark unknowns clearly. Then propose a smaller to-be pilot that changes only the minimum necessary steps.
Human Checkpoint Designer
Places approval, escalation, and override points where errors matter most.
Open starter prompt +
Review this proposed AI workflow and design human checkpoints. For every consequential action, specify who reviews it, what evidence they see, approve/edit/reject options, timeout behavior, escalation path, and audit record. Prefer reversible drafts over automatic final actions.
Data Access Guard
Reduces unnecessary data exposure and excessive system permissions.
Open starter prompt +
Perform a least-privilege review for this workflow. List each data field and system permission requested, why it is needed, whether it can be removed or masked, retention needs, prohibited data, and who may access the result. Flag any credential sharing or unrestricted write access.
Automation Spec Writer
Converts the approved workflow into a buildable, testable specification.
Open starter prompt +
Write a plain-language automation specification for this workflow. Include trigger, required inputs, validation, deterministic rules, AI steps, integrations, outputs, exception queue, retries, ownership, logging, rollback, and acceptance criteria. Keep assumptions in a separate list for approval.
Prompt and SOP Builder
Creates a controlled operating prompt and a matching human procedure.
Open starter prompt +
Create an operating prompt and a short SOP for this task. The prompt must define role, allowed sources, required output, uncertainty handling, prohibited actions, and escalation. The SOP must explain how a person starts, reviews, corrects, records, and stops the process.
UI Test Planner
Builds realistic browser scenarios before an automated workflow touches production.
Open starter prompt +
Design UI test coverage for this workflow. Include the happy path, validation, empty state, duplicate submission, permissions, timeout, partial failure, recovery, accessibility basics, and mobile viewport. For each case provide preconditions, steps, expected result, evidence to capture, and cleanup.
ROI Baseline Analyst
Defines the before-and-after numbers needed to decide whether the pilot helped.
Open starter prompt +
Create a measurement baseline for this workflow without inventing numbers. Define volume, handling time, waiting time, error/rework rate, completion rate, operating cost, and customer impact. Provide a simple collection plan and the minimum sample needed before comparing a pilot.
Exception Review Agent
Finds patterns in failures without hiding edge cases inside an average.
Open starter prompt +
Analyze this de-identified exception log. Group failures by cause, frequency, business impact, detectability, and recovery effort. Show representative examples, distinguish system defects from bad inputs and policy cases, and recommend what to fix, route to a human, or leave manual.
30-Day Pilot Planner
Turns a promising idea into a limited experiment with a clear stop decision.
Open starter prompt +
Plan a 30-day pilot for this workflow. Define scope, owner, users, sample data, safeguards, baseline, weekly milestones, acceptance thresholds, stop conditions, incident response, review cadence, and the final keep/improve/stop decision. Do not assume production access is approved.
Four operating rules
Useful agents stay inside clear boundaries.
- 01Use approved inputs
Start with public, synthetic, or explicitly authorized business information.
- 02Require visible evidence
Keep sources, assumptions, actions, and exceptions reviewable.
- 03Keep consequential actions human
Draft first. Approve before sending, charging, deleting, or changing access.
- 04Measure before expanding
Compare the pilot with a real baseline and keep a stop condition.
