tokens agents
Five lessons, eight files

The agent-ready starter kit

Five short lessons by email, one artifact per day. A working three-tier DTCG token set, the semantic-layer checklist, a component contract template, an EARS spec template, and the AGENTS.md pattern I run in production for 8,000 users. Free, and the files are yours to keep. The templates version as models change, and subscribers get every update.
