How your agent works

Where your agent runs, what happens when you message it, what it remembers between tasks — and what it cannot do.

Getting good results

How to brief an agent: state the goal and the constraints, point it at ground truth, and size the task so it lands.

Tutorial

Getting your credentials

How to obtain the Claude Code token, GitHub PAT, and Slack tokens your agent needs — and where each one is stored.

Tutorial

Slack app setup

Create a Slack app from a manifest, generate the bot and app-level tokens, and connect over Socket Mode.

Tutorial

Finding a Slack member ID

How to look up the stable member ID for yourself or any workspace user — needed for the agent's allowlist.

Tutorial

Linking an AWS account

Create a dedicated IAM user, decide what it may do, set a spending guardrail, and rotate the keys safely.

Guide

Building on AWS with an agent

Infrastructure as code, environment separation, least privilege, and cost guardrails — the practices that keep agent-built infrastructure reviewable and reversible.

Guide

Autonomy, checkpoints, and stability

How much latitude to give an agent, where a human checkpoint actually pays for itself, and the habits that keep scheduled and delegated work stable.

Guide

Working with a system you cannot fully audit

Your agent will soon do more in a day than you can read in a day. What that gap means, why accountability does not transfer, and how to keep real oversight anyway.
