SL actions first
- Find my stage — Drop the work into the SLI map so the team sees the same signals.
- Verify-in-10 (guide → lab) — Read the pattern, then run the 10-minute lab before calling a change “done.”
- Post Receipts & State — Update

Completed the SL loop? Then move on to decisions, facilitation, or accessibility below.
Pick your first win
- Decide faster — Use the Decision Spine to frame options, make the call, and leave a review plan.
- Facilitate better — Borrow ready-to-use prompts from Facilitation Techniques to keep meetings on-rails.
- Ship accessibly — Check the UI baseline before you publish so tokens and contrast stay consistent.
When you need the rules
Need to publish or link something publicly? Check What is Band A for the sanitization contract, then ship.
Need the UI, tone, or states for your artifact? Use:
- Find anything fast for a search cheatsheet
- Voice & Tone for sample phrasing
- UI Baseline for typography, buttons, and spacing
- SLI States to see how we visualize progress
Fix it fast or escalate
- Follow the Quick-Run when something regresses after an edit, then Verify-in-10 + run the lab before re-listing it as Live.
- Browse the Fix-it-fast index when interrupts hit and you need a 10-minute checklist.
- Need something more involved? The Runbooks index keeps the chore-heavy flows out of guidance pages.
