How we handle external sources

  1. Tool terms and pricing — verify on vendor sites; they change. We describe categories more than eternal version numbers.
  2. Legal topics — general information only; hire counsel for real risk.
  3. Statistics — if we cite a number, we aim to make it checkable or clearly illustrative; prefer process over fake precision.
  4. No pay-for-placement scorecards — criteria first (about).
  5. Corrections — Contact with URL + what should change.

Suggested external primary sources (examples)

Creators should bookmark, not blindly trust third-party summaries:

  • Vendor Terms of Service / license pages for tools you pay for
  • Platform creator / advertising policies (YouTube, Meta, stock markets, app stores)
  • Your jurisdiction’s copyright office guidance on AI-assisted works (where published)
  • Client brand guidelines and MSAs

We do not reproduce vendor terms here—they are long, changeable, and authoritative only on the vendor’s domain.

Printable habits (steal these)

From across the library:

  1. Five-line brief before generate
  2. Style paragraph lock for sets
  3. Batch ≤4 in production
  4. Keep/Change/Kill critique
  5. Finish outside the generator
  6. Commercial checklist before invoice
  7. Archive prompt + seed + postmortem

Versioning note

Tool names and prices change. When a deep-link to a vendor feature breaks, the process pages should still work. Prefer bookmarking this resources map and your own project kits over hoarding screenshots of temporary UIs.

Corrections and contributions of fact

If you find a broken internal link or a clearly stale claim, use Contact with the URL and a suggested fix. We prioritize accuracy over ego (about).

Teaching this library to a team

Suggested workshop (90 minutes):

  1. 15 min — workflow system walkthrough
  2. 20 min — live brief + small batch with critique
  3. 20 min — commercial checklist on a fake delivery
  4. 20 min — style kit build for a sample brand
  5. 15 min — Q&A against the FAQ

Hand people the resources map as the single bookmark. Deep links beat a folder of random PDFs.

Maintenance of this map

When we add pages in future batches, this resources document should gain a row in the same pass. If you land on a 404 from an old share, start at the home hub or this map. Internal IA is allowed to improve; the goal is fewer thin clones, not eternal URLs for every draft title.

Secondary indexes

  • Case studies: product, brand kit, storyboard, album
  • Business: rights, checklist, budget, delivery, agency batch
  • Craft: iteration, consistency, upscale, mobile

Use search in browser only if your host enables it; otherwise this page is the index.

Published guidance is general: adapt checklists to your contracts, tools, and risk tolerance before you ship client work.

How we maintain this list

  • Prefer primary docs (vendor terms, standards bodies) over secondary listicles
  • Date-stamp major license changes when we notice them
  • No paid placement; links may still break
