Been working on some internal tools for me & my agents to power my content pipeline. So much freedom and power when designing for a customer base of one.

Feature request for all agent harnesses: Emoji reactions on paragraphs written by agents so I can approve/reject/confirm each thing. So much of the work now is sifting through long planning discussions. AskUserQuestion and numbering responses only take you so far.

My building workflow these days: 1. Long planning sessions in Claude. 2. Build a PRD from that (now in HTML!) 3. Break out to buildable milestones. 4. Agent builds + writes up notes for next milestones' agents to read. 5. Review & refine after each milestone. 6. Repeat.

Not everything needs to be super fast when leveraging AI in your work. I spend entire days and weeks shaping and reworking specs, design plans, drafts, directions (in collaboration with AI) before I let the agent cook.

My agents tend to run on this 3-part pattern I call 'The Night Shift': 1. Agent runs a Skill on a recurring schedule. 2. Reads/writes to a markdown file or custom app. 3. Sends me a report, I approve or give feedback. Examples in today's video:

Once I'm in a project and rolling, I'm an unstoppable shipping machine. But in that space between the last project and the next one... I procrastinate like its my job. For better or worse.

Back on the Conductor train as my daily-driver for building across multiple agents and projects all the time. It's just nicer in all the little details and workflows. The github integration especially melts away all the complexity of worktrees.

Agent Skills aren't just about automating processes. They're how you bake brand consistency into everything you produce. Illustration skill, marketing page skill, social media skill, etc. Each one carries your brand guidelines so the output stays on-brand every time.

Refactor agent Skills like you refactor code. I try to avoid cramming long, complex processes into one
SKILL.md
. Better to extract each step out to its own markdown file, referenced from the main skill. Each step is swappable. Debugging & maintaining a lot easier. Agent parses it easily.

Working on a new course for people who want to build tools, but lack software dev experience. You will fill those gaps and build something real, using the same tools and process that "pros" do. Coming to Builder Methods Pro this month.

When building internal tools with AI, the temptation is to build a monolith that does everything. I prefer a stack of purpose-built tools, each powers one process in my business. Me (manager) + My agents (workers) + Our app (shared UI) = โ

Shape first. Then plan. Brain dump โ customer context โ map what's broken โ ask AI to push back โ capture the PRD. Skip the shaping and you'll build the wrong thing fast.

"Where do I start with AI if I have zero coding experience?" Honest answer: forget the tools for now. Start with a real problem you need solved. Let AI guide you through building the solution. Your first project teaches you more than any tutorial ever will.

Claude Code is slow for codebase changes. But crazy fast for back-and-forths only in the session, no file reading or writing. Great for shaping content ideas, and faster turnarounds than Claude ai & Cowork. Claude Code is the worst of their 3 UI's for that type of work though.

A custom-built UI, designed for you and your own agents to use, will outperform an "AI-powered" SaaS feature every time. Your agents bring your preferred model, memories, skills and history. Your UI fits the way you think and work. Product. Market (you). Fit.

Reorienting to how work gets organized now: - Less reliance on SaaS/Project management tools. - A LOT more local (markdown) files. - Introduction of agent Skills everywhere. - Smaller human teams. More agents.
