Codify things

So one of the foundations of the agentic operator is to codify things. You have to understand not just what you're doing but what the workflow entails. What its pieces are. Where the bottleneck is, where things get wasted, where things can be repeated. You have to remove everything that is not important, so you can focus on the most important part.

In designing a logo, the packaging isn't the important part. Saving out the files isn't the important part. The most important part is the ideation, the rough direction. What should it look and feel like? What's the vibe of this brand, of this logo?

If you can get the general vibe, you can build something decent. Then you can build a brand around it, and refine the logo over time. Make it really crisp, or really crazy. The general arena is the point. Not spending days and days making the perfect logo, because nobody really cares about logos.

I used to spend so much time saving every colour variation of a logo. Prepping the artboards, prepping the colours. Such manual, tedious work. Or putting together a logo presentation, finding images, looking for this, looking for that. Such a schlep, and all of it just to communicate my idea in the best way I could. Now that I've taught the agents to do that, all that time is freed up.
