Why it matters
Small teams wear many hats. Agents that pick up research, admin and operations let a founder spend more time on the work only they can do. It is one of 7 sightings filed under Business & Startups on Agent Sightings (number 7 by interest), and one of 164 involving Claude Code.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Claude Code or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Split this layer of the spec into independent workstreams. For each, create a worktree, implement behind feature flags, and open a draft PR. Do not start dependent layers until these merge.
The prompt breaks down into 3 steps you can check as the agent works:
- Split this layer of the spec into independent workstreams.
- For each, create a worktree, implement behind feature flags, and open a draft PR.
- Do not start dependent layers until these merge.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
