About These Checklists
Checklists prevent mistakes. Pilots use them. Surgeons use them. You should too.
Each checklist covers a different phase of building with AI:
- Pre-Build: Before you write any code
- Prompt: When designing your prompts
- Tool: When integrating tools/functions
- Production: Before and after deployment
- Security: Protecting against attacks
When to Use
| Phase | Checklist |
|---|---|
| Starting a new feature | Pre-Build |
| Writing/updating prompts | Prompt |
| Adding function calling | Tool |
| Going to production | Production + Security |
| Incident response | All of them |
