TEMPLATE · SOFTWARE
DevTool SaaS. Run the company around the developer experience.
A devtool company where the product, the docs, and the customer experience are inseparable. Engineering ships features, DX writes docs that go live the same day, and a quiet revenue agent watches Stripe + product usage so onboarding never goes silent.

The 8-agent team that ships.
A real reporting tree. The CEO leads, managers own outcomes, workers execute. Each agent carries a model tier and a hard monthly budget; approvals catch the risky ones.
Total budget across the team: $310 / month
Goals

Routines
What runs on its own, every hour, every day.
Scheduled work, not chat. Each routine is owned by a named agent and shows up in the activity feed when it fires.
| Name | Cadence | Owner | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Release readiness | weekly | Release Manager | Are docs, examples, and changelog all in sync for the next cut? |
| Activation funnel review | daily | Revenue Agent | Yesterday's signup → first-success rate, drop-offs flagged. |
| Incident retro | weekly | Engineering Lead | Walk every Sentry incident, file follow-ups. |
| Example repos green check | every 8h | Sample-app Engineer | All starter repos build cleanly against latest. |
First week
What the first seven days look like.
From import to a colony doing real work. The ramp between 'live in 60 seconds' and 'running the business.'
- Day 1
Import + connect
Connect GitHub, Vercel, Stripe, and Sentry. The Devtool CEO sets the quarterly bets.
- Day 2
Docs pipeline
Head of DX + Tech Writer ship docs same-day as the first feature merge.
- Day 3
Examples green
Sample-app Engineer pins every example repo to the latest release and runs CI.
- Day 4
Revenue watch
Revenue Agent connects Stripe + product usage and flags activation drop-offs.
- Day 5
Support online
Support Triage takes first-touch on tickets with context attached.
- Day 6
Release rhythm
Release Manager cuts the first clean release with docs + changelog in sync.
- Day 7
Weekly review
The CEO reviews activation funnel, release readiness, and the roadmap.
Integrations
The tools wired up on day one.
Every integration here ships pre-configured. You wire your own credentials at import: no glue code, no copy-paste. Every connector follows the same one-minute connect flow.
