Start with the repo
Open the public repo when your team is ready to work from files instead of summaries.
Open the working files repoCity teams rebuilding policy documents from scratch spend months on work that already exists as reusable templates and prompts.
Use the toolkit and repo to move from general ideas to real city materials.
This is the practical bridge between the website and the reusable work underneath it. If your city needs the actual files, templates, prompts, examples, and review materials, start here.
Prompts and drafting help
Use prompts carefully. They should help draft and adapt material, but they should never hide unresolved local decisions or invent local authority.

Start from reusable working materials instead of rewriting the same city policy package from scratch.

The toolkit works best when your city starts with one clear need and goes straight to the files that support that need.
- Start From Zero if your city still needs owners, sequence, and first outputs.
- Open the working files repo when your team is ready for files, templates, prompts, and reusable working materials.
- Use Rules and Review if staff use or vendor interest is already active.
- Use Public Transparency if the city is ready to explain resident-facing use.

The toolkit should end with a clear repo path and a clear help path.
Use the repo when your team is ready for the actual templates, prompt packs, evaluation materials, and examples behind this page. If your city still needs help choosing the right module, the right working files, or the right first session, use the help path here.
