Agent Meetup
Agents,
minus the hype
Agent Meetup
This runs my studio
A handful of agents on schedules.
Agent Meetup
It touches everything
Agent Meetup
What it keeps current
My expense agent tracks subscriptions and posts a monthly summary.
Agent Meetup
It's simpler than you're picturing
Agent Meetup
What an agent actually is
01
Who it is
what it cares about
02
Instructions
how to do its job
03
A schedule
when it runs
Agent Meetup
Boring on purpose
It's just plain text
Agent Meetup
What an agent reads
CLAUDE.md
the context
project-status.md
how to do one job
Agent Meetup
Same pattern, every agent
| Agent | Role | Runs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| master | Orchestrator, weekly maintenance | Weekdays | |
| admin | Runway, invoicing, pipeline triage | Friday | |
| project | Per-project status + backlog | Monday | |
| content | Scouts content ideas | Monday | |
| comms | Drafts client comms | On demand |
Agent Meetup
My master agent
Just a markdown file, a role and a to-do list.
master-agent.md
You are an autonomous agent running a scheduled maintenance cycle for my vault. Read CLAUDE.md first, then do these in order: 1 Process ACTIONS.md 2 Surface flagged items 3 Check the research inbox 5 Flag stale projects 6 Monthly finance check 7 Pick this week's content 8 Pipeline health 10 Append to the agent log
Agent Meetup
Rules, not autonomy
I make the calls, the agent just follows the rules
Agent Meetup
Most of the hype sells
complexity you don't need
Agent Meetup
It started as three files
who-i-am.md
my-company.md
values.md

Where it's going
Alto · my internal cockpit
Aloft · a live window for clients

Agents are simpler than the hype
Automate one job, then build yours
