How to train an AI to be your best employee

The problem

Most people give an AI one long prompt and hope for the best. It works for a day, then drifts, guesses or does things nobody asked for.

The method: train it like a new hire

Every AI employee I set up goes through the same four steps:

Step 1 – Job description: what it owns, and just as important, what it never does.

Step 2 – Rules: its tone, its limits, and the moments it has to stop and ask you.

Step 3 – Checklist: its daily routine, step by step, so the work looks the same every time.

Step 4 – Test tasks: a set of practice jobs it has to pass before it touches real work.

How I use it myself

My own Claude setup runs on this method: written rules, approval points and a set of test tasks that are run again before any rule change goes live. If a test fails, the change waits.

What you get from it

An AI employee you can trust because you can see exactly what it will and won't do – and you approve before it acts.
