Keep what your agency learns
Every project leaves useful decisions behind. Keep reusable recipes in an Agent Cookbook, adapt them to your agency and give your next task a starting point your team understands.
# A recipe worth keeping
Use the approved brand guide.
Reuse the section that fits.
Keep client content editable.
Check the page at every size.
Save it for the next build.Turn repeatable work into shared guidance
Use recipes to record how your team approaches recurring work. The files stay visible in the project, where you can inspect and adapt them.
Your preferences
Capture the choices that matter to your agency.
Useful context
Keep the guidance close to the work it supports.
Room to adapt
Adjust recipes when a client or project needs a different approach.
Give methods and recipes different jobs
Keep your working method and reusable recipes together in the project.
Page content
A workflow sets the method
Store the approach for a named authoring action and select it deliberately.
Aa.
A cookbook supplies recipes
Keep reusable guidance that supports the method. Both are project files; the website’s templates and page content have their own home.
Start small, then make it useful
Begin with one repeatable task and a recipe your team can review. Build a useful collection through deliberate choices, with each project keeping its own working copy.
Choose
Identify guidance that fits the task.
Import
Bring the selected package into the project.
Adapt
Review and edit the local recipe.
Select
Associate the intended guidance with the authoring action.
Improve the guidance without surprising the project
Review a newer release before applying it. Local updates can identify conflicting edits, so your team can decide what to retain. Changing a cookbook updates its guidance; existing pages and templates keep their content until you choose to change them.

Are cookbooks the same as page templates?
No. Cookbooks store recipes and guidance; islands and Documents provide site design and content.
Can we customize a cookbook?
Yes. The imported working files can be adapted for your agency or project.
Do updates rewrite our pages?
Updating a cookbook does not rewrite existing pages, templates or Documents.
