Work orders that start sharp
Last updated August 8, 2026
The fastest way to see what a good work order looks like is to start from one. Each template below prefills the Wringer form with a goal, checkable acceptance criteria, and boundaries. Edit anything, then audit it for $1 before you spend on a run.

Use this templateWhat makes these work
Every template follows the same three rules. The goal names a finished state, not an activity. The checks are things a stranger could prove without guessing. The boundaries stop the agent from drifting into extra work. That is the whole difference between a prompt and a work order.
