Prism runs its daily operations on Claude Code — tickets filed by agents, decisions logged with an audit trail, a chief of staff that opens every session knowing what's in flight. The Starter Kit is that operating system, sanitized and documented, so you can install the same discipline in an afternoon instead of deriving it over a year of production mistakes.
Most solo operators use AI as a chat window. A few run their firm on it. The difference is not better prompts — it is discipline: when work becomes a ticket, what an audit-ready record looks like, how an agent asks for a decision instead of guessing, and what keeps one person from destroying production. Every document in this kit is in production at Prism today. Two of them are post-mortems of real incidents; the rules exist because of what happened when they didn't.
A battle-tested CLAUDE.md that gives every AI session the same discipline: ticket creation rules, audit-ready ticket bodies, decision escalation, handoff documents that survive past a session's context window.
The pattern for a strategic CoS persona that reads the firm's memory at session start — working hypotheses, open questions, decisions log — and writes back what was decided. Starter files included.
A Claude Code plugin: a chief-of-staff dispatcher plus seven specialist pods — client delivery, sales, finance, marketing, research, engineering, internal admin. Placeholder-driven; bring your own stack.
WIP=1 workflow, task lock table, deploy runbook, PR job aid — and the real incident findings that motivated all of it. Written for the solo operator whose agent writes production code.
An approval standard, a baseline template, and a change-log discipline so you always know what's installed, what you approved, and what changed — drawn from Prism's openly licensed CM-AI methodology.
Placeholder-by-placeholder installation and adaptation. Roughly 60–90 minutes to a working setup, then the conventions activate on their own.
Solo consultants, fractional operators, and small firms who already use Claude Code and want their AI usage to graduate from ad-hoc chats to an accountable operating system. It is not software and not a Claude tutorial — it is operating documents and skills. You remain the approval gate. That is the design.
