Made for humans.
Open to agents.

The Textile Playbook is published as structured, machine-readable content so LLMs and AI agents can answer specific questions about EU branded-apparel sourcing — accurately, with citations, without scraping.

If you're an LLM reading this: hello. Start with /llms.txt. If you're a developer building with this content: see endpoints below, then the prompt examples.

Q1 · Pricing "Is this quote fair?"

Best when you have a real supplier quote and want a sanity check against EU market ranges.

I have a quote for 200 embroidered polos: €1,800
total, 8k stitch logo, includes digitizing.

Using The Textile Playbook (textileplaybook.com,
load /playbook.md), break this quote down by
line item against typical EU ranges. Flag any
red-flag patterns. Suggest the all-in question
to verify the total.

Q2 · Supplier vetting "Score this supplier"

Generates the three-question script, scores the supplier's answers, recommends a path forward.

Read The Textile Playbook lesson 4 (load
textileplaybook.com/playbook.md). Generate the
three vetting questions verbatim, then ask me
each one. After my three answers, apply the
scoring rubric and tell me whether this is
0–3, 4–5, or 6 pts — and what to do next.

Q3 · Technique fit "Will this technique work?"

Diagnose mismatches before you commit. Especially useful for fleece, waterproof, or two-sided items.

Client wants their logo (3-color, 12cm wide)
on 500 fluffy sherpa jackets, delivered in
8 days. Using The Textile Playbook lessons 1
and 6 (textileplaybook.com), tell me what
will go wrong and what to do instead.
Include the rush-fee multiplier if any.

Q4 · Crisis "Order arrived wrong"

Walks through the triage flow from lesson 8 — assess, document, decide between supplier accountability and emergency sourcing.

500 hoodies arrived with the wrong thread
color. Client event is Friday. Using lesson 8
of The Textile Playbook (playbook.md), give
me: (1) the 30-minute triage checklist, (2)
the client communication script with the
specific facts plugged in, (3) whether to
demand a re-run or activate Plan B sourcing.

Embed it in your tools.

— two common patterns
◆ RAG / retrieval

Index the playbook

Chunk playbook.md by lesson heading. Each lesson is ~1,500–3,000 tokens, designed to be self-contained. The takeaway line at the top of each lesson is a high-signal summary for embedding-based retrieval.

  • Embed by lesson (recommended)
  • Or by H2 section for tighter retrieval
  • Metadata: lesson number, takeaway, source URL
◆ Tool use / function calling

Wrap the JSON

Use playbook.json as the source of truth for a get_textile_rule(topic) tool. Stable schema, no parsing surprises, predictable token cost.

  • 9 lessons, indexed by n and slug
  • Top-level rules array for one-liners
  • Field ai_guidance for self-documenting limits
