Start from repeat work
List jobs your team performs monthly with similar inputs and outputs (intake triage, estimate prep, vendor RFQ collation). If experts sigh because “everyone does it differently,” you have Tradecraft candidate material.
Capture decisions, not just steps
Strong Tradecrafts encode decision points: when to escalate, which data sources are authoritative, what “done” means. Attach templates and integration hooks so agents do not re-derive policy each run.
Lifecycle: identify → build → deploy → govern → distribute
The public Tradecrafts page walks this lifecycle. Distribution to external organizations is optional and visibility-controlled; marketplace mechanics follow product terms, not speculative payout percentages in marketing copy.
Human review stays central
Publishing a Tradecraft does not auto-approve customer-facing output. Keep humans on contractual, pricing, and brand commitments.
Frequently asked questions
