Free starter kit

One repository per client. People and agents work from the same facts.

This is the template we generate every client repository from, with our names and tools taken out. It needs git and Python, and no particular AI tool.

Diagram titled How we run a company on agents. On the left, one company hub and a private repository per client, listing its files: AGENTS.md, profile, systems, runbooks, projects, decisions, meetings and log. Below that, how every fact file starts, with a title, an owner, a status, a last reviewed date, a review by date and sources. On the right, four gates: a checker on every commit, agents with their own accounts, rules on the git server, and a person who says yes. A loop along the bottom runs start, work, record, every morning and every week.

What's inside

  • The layout. A hub file every agent reads first, then profile, systems, runbooks, projects, decisions, meeting digests and a monthly work log.
  • A checker. It runs before every commit. Every fact file needs an owner, a source and a review date. Secrets, broken links and leftover placeholders stop the commit, and anything past its review date is flagged.
  • A guard for Claude Code. It blocks force pushes, direct pushes to main, skipped checks, recursive deletes and pasted secrets.
  • Six formats. System note, runbook, project brief, decision, meeting digest and log entry.
  • An onboarding checklist for filling in a new client.
  • A license that lets you use it. Apache 2.0: use it, change it and use it in paid client work. It comes as is, with no warranty.

Who it's for

IT providers, agencies, bookkeepers and consultants. Any firm with more clients than one person can keep in their head.

How we use it

Every client we serve has a private repository like this one. It holds their systems, the procedures we repeat, and every decision with its reason.

People read it. Agents start every task from it.

Agents can read and draft. A person approves anything that leaves the building.

The client may read everything we write about them, so nothing goes in that we would not say to them directly.
