running a company nowadays feels kinda dystopian
my team is 50+ people in 12 countries, but i talk to my agents more than my human teammates
voice note to grokbot
mattpocock/skills /grill-me so the agent interrogates the idea before anything gets built
spec drops into linear through the linear mcp
exa + firecrawl agent reads every competitor site, pricing page and changelog
http://ideabrowser.com to find ideas and trends
apify pulls g2, reddit and app store reviews
prompt: "find the 10 complaints that show up most and quote the users"
context7 so the agent reads the latest docs before it touches any api
the design
claude code + paper mcp
4 versions of every screen before a single line of code
pick pieces from 2, it merges them. diverge then converge
frontend-design skill from anthropic/skills + our own design system skill
cleanshot screenshots of any ui i like go straight in with "make it feel like this"
the build
pingdotgg/t3code as the control surface for every agent, from my phone too
stablyai/orca runs a fleet of agents in parallel, each in its own git worktree
graphify maps the whole codebase into a knowledge graph so agents navigate instead of guess
headroom compresses tool outputs before they hit the model, so tokens go 20-95% further
lsp plugins so the agent sees types and errors like an ide does
security guidance hook flags risky edits before they land
supabase mcp for the database, stripe for billing
github mcp opens the pr, vercel spins up a preview
loops run overnight, i check what shipped over coffee
the user testing
lightpanda as the headless browser, way lighter than chromium so you can run hundreds at once
agents click every flow on the preview like a first-time user
one persona is impatient, one is confused, one is on a phone
playwright + chrome devtools mcp for regression tests
the bugs
sentry mcp catches the error
agent reads the stack trace and opens a fix pr in under 10 minutes
human just approves
the data
posthog mcp cron at 7am on yesterday's funnel
any step that drops more than 10%, the agent watches 20 session replays and tells me why
stripe mcp pulls every cancellation reason into one doc every monday
the agents' tools
orgo so every agent gets its own computer
agentmail so every agent gets its own inbox
agentphone so i can call them from the car
composio connect-apps for every other connector
akitaonrails/ai-memory, a git-backed markdown wiki so they remember what we decided last week
the skills
wshobson/agents so skills work across claude code, codex and opencode
my writing voice
our design system
how we write specs
skill creator so the agents write new skills themselves
some helpful tricks
one agent per platform. the x agent never touches email
cheap model for triage, opus for anything that ships
every output gets scored 1-10 by an llm judge. under 8 goes back
every agent writes a 5-line log at night so i can read the whole company in 2 minutes
every agent mistake becomes a new skill, so it only happens once
the team
humans get version 5, not my voice note which they are happy about lol
their job is creative feedback, relationships and telling the agents what they got wrong
a human pm reviews the funnel once a week. this reviews it every morning
running a company is now voice notes and inference
Key Takeaways
Every tool in this stack has a profile in [[tools/index|Tools]], sorted by tool type
Agents do the first drafts and the checks. People give creative feedback and say what the agents got wrong.
Habits make the speed safe: an LLM judge with a pass mark, a security hook, a nightly log per agent and a new skill for each mistake
