What compounding looks like
A senior detailer’s window-and-door marking convention — the kind of craft that usually walks out the door — is now a named, vetted skill the whole studio runs. Captured once. Reused on every plan after.
Every plan, a detailer tags the windows and doors that get cut and re-letters their marks room by room. It’s exacting, easy to get out of order, and it lives in the head of whoever’s done it longest. With Treillage, that convention was captured as a reusable skill that encodes the firm’s exact standard — room-number-plus-letter marks, the firm’s own ordering and tag families, leaders off — so the default output follows house style with zero configuration. It runs the same way for everyone, previews every change before it writes, and undoes cleanly. The craft stops being one person’s memory and becomes structure the firm owns.
Why a captured skill holds up
Run it with no arguments and the output already follows the firm’s convention — room-number-plus-letter marks, the firm’s ordering, the firm’s tag families, leaders off. The standard is baked in, not retyped each time.
A preview shows every mark and tag it would place before anything is written, and a run undoes cleanly — safe to put on a live sheet.
The same plan produces the same marks and tags no matter who runs it — a reviewable, repeatable sequence instead of a one-off you have to check by hand. It’s not a black box: you can see exactly what it will do before it does it.
A skill clears a review gate before any teammate reuses it — a structure check, a required self-test, an automated check that it runs clean, and an ongoing check that flags a skill when something it relies on has changed or drifted out of date. What you reuse is work you trust, not whatever ran last.
From the firms we work with
Every plan set, the same task: tag the cut windows and exterior doors and re-letter their marks, room by room, in the firm’s reading order. Exacting, repetitive, and dependent on the one person who knew the convention cold.
They captured that convention once as a vetted, shared skill. It encodes the firm’s exact standard, so the default output matches house style with no setup — and because it runs the same way for everyone and previews every change before it lands, the next teammate gets an identical result and nothing happens they didn’t see first. The standard now travels with the skill instead of with one detailer.
The exact high-repetition work a captured skill pays back.
