AI agents and prompts for solo founders and small teams, page 6
For people running a business of one or a few: pricing and follow-up prompts, an agent ops playbook, a Custom GPT to skill migration, an inbox triage bot that drafts but never sends, and a weekly numbers agent.
Point an agent at the order exceptions, not the routine work
Instead of automating the 90% of orders that already run fine, one operator aimed an agent at the messy exceptions. The agent drafts a fix for each one and a person approves it with one click, which cut the daily exception queue from most of a day to about an hour.
Check the Claim (expanded edition): a method, prompts and a skill for checking AI claims
Make your agent check income, tool, popularity, quote, news and offer claims before they reach a brief, a pitch, a purchase or a post: label how much was read, run the creator's own arithmetic, trace sources back to first hand, and give each claim one of five verdicts on a card the owner approves. v1.1 adds an evidence level label (full, caption, summary or wall), four new arithmetic tests, a section on tracing a source back to first hand, screens for offers, quotes and slogans, four more red flags, a sixth worked example, a claim folder with a fourteen-check read-only checker and an owner approval helper, agent files for Grok Bot, Claude Code, Codex and Hermes, and twelve new prompts (26 in all). Price unchanged.
Check the Claim: the six questions (free sample)
Six questions, an evidence level label, the add-the-parts check, one prompt and one card template that make any agent with web search check a claim before you use it. Updated to v1.1.
Grok Bot Templates: personas, standing orders and handoffs
A Markdown pack for setting up Grok Bots that do useful work on a schedule: 8 ready-to-paste personas, standing order cards for scheduled routines, event routine recipes, multi-bot handoffs with a decision log and four approval gates, memory rules and a test set.
Standing orders for a scheduled Grok Bot (free sample)
The card we use for every scheduled Grok Bot job, a cron table in local time, and two reporting rules (quiet by default, end of day) that cut most of the noise.
Governed Agent Teams: subagent personas, authority maps and handoffs
A Markdown pack for running a team of coding and research agents with clear limits: 7 subagent personas for Claude Code with Codex AGENTS.md and Hermes skill versions, a Desk Authority Map, three role risk classes, a handoff packet the receiver verifies, an evidence standard, a decision ledger and a reach inventory.
The Desk Authority Map for agent teams (free sample)
One template that says what each agent may do without you, what it must ask for, what it never does and what proof it owes, with an example row and an audit prompt.
Turn production alerts into diagnosed fix PRs with a cloud agent
A small SaaS team wired its alerts to a Claude Code routine that finds the root cause, explains it in the Slack alert thread and opens a fix PR, and its first serious incident went from alert to merged fix in 13 minutes.
Run a local shop services business with an agent team and five approval gates
A gym teacher and former steamfitter runs BuiltForShops, which builds websites, answers calls and manages reviews for independent shops, on a team of named Grok Bot agents with a short list of things that never happen without his yes.
Audit where your agent team's tokens actually go
A user went through a day of Grok Bot usage step by step and found that bots handing work to each other, not his own chats, ate most of his tokens, with each handoff costing a median of about 977,000 tokens.
Price, pitch and follow up: prompts for solo founders selling services
15 prompts for pricing a service, writing a one-page offer and proposal, handling objections and following up on a schedule, plus a read-only checker that flags a price under your own minimum, numbers that are not in your notes and which follow-up is due for each lead.
Gmail inbox triage bot: label, summarize and draft replies for review
A Google Apps Script bot that labels new mail, saves draft replies for your review and emails a morning digest to you only, with an offline test you can run before it touches your inbox.
Get a weekly metrics report written by an agent from Stripe, analytics and a sheet
Build a scheduled job that pulls revenue, traffic and your own sheet numbers, computes week over week changes in code, has an agent write a short report, checks every number against the table and sends it only after your yes.
Move a Custom GPT to a skill before custom GPTs retire on Dec 11, 2026
Export your Custom GPT, convert it to a skill folder with one script, check the result with a read-only checker, plan each custom action and compare old and new answers before the Dec 11, 2026 retirement.
Solo-founder agent ops playbook: run your business with agents without losing control
Decide which jobs go to agents and how much power each gets, write one house rules file with five numbered stops, then run a read-only checker that compares your agent register with the action log, budget and incidents every week.
Algorithm cheat sheets: what X, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok actually say they rank
The ranking signals each platform has published, labeled Published, Via secondary or Lore, with the real X For You weights read from its public source code.
Ask-first rules for AI agents: hard nos, approval cards and a test set
Paste-in rules that make an agent ask before it sends, spends, posts or deletes, define what a real yes is, and stop retries after a no, plus 12 test scenarios to check it.
Run a daily signal board for your niche on X with an agent
A read-only agent routine and a small script that rank the last 14 days of posts in your niche by bookmarks, quotes and likes, and show what moved since yesterday.
Build a writing style guide your agents can follow
Ten prompts and a template that turn 20 to 40 messages you really wrote into a one-page STYLE.md, so drafts from any agent sound like you and stay drafts.
