I've been running Claude Code for 6 months, shipping my product and running content/launch ops for it. The thing that kept breaking wasn't the agents themselves. It was me. Every handoff between research and write and code and review was me copy pasting context between sessions. I was the dispatcher and context holder for my own AI team

Tried gstack first. The roles are great but I'm still the one cycling through slash commands. /office-hours → /plan-eng-review → /review → /ship. Good output, but I'm orchestrating every step

Spent a weekend porting my workflow over. Here's the lineup:

Engineering (4 agents)

arch: owns architectural decisions. Reviews proposed changes before code starts. Soul: "senior staff engineer, asks 'what breaks at 10x' before approving anything
backend: owns /api, /services. Implements after arch greenlights
frontend: owns /web. Picks up from backend when API contracts are stable
review: reads every PR before I do. Catches the lazy stuff so I only review substantive changes

Growth/Content (5 agents)

research: uses ahrefs MCP to analyse keywords/opportunities/market and hands off to strategist
strategist: reads research, writes campaign briefs. Doesn't write copy, only frames the angle
writer: drafts blog posts given by strategist and avoid mistakes using the memory from the edits I have previously suggested
editor: fact-checks and rewrites for voice. Brand style guide lives in its memory
SEO: takes finalized copy, adds metadata, structures for the blog

The handoff that changed everything: when backend ships an API change, it messages frontend directly. When writer finishes a draft, it pings editor. When arch blocks a change, it explains why in team chat and backend adjusts. I see the conversation happen on a canvas

What actually works

Each agent has a persistent Soul + Purpose + Memory. The editor knows our voice after 3 weeks. The arch agent remembers what we decided about caching last month
Auto-captured Knowledge Base. The strategist remembers the pattern of our best-performing posts and create briefings accordingly

Happy to share the Soul/Purpose docs if anyone wants them, they took the longest to dial in

she’s almost 3 and we took her to my dad’s farm over the weekend and she helped feed the cows, sat nearby while my dad milked them, and even tried carrying a tiny bucket around like she was doing real work😭

my dad was loving it obviously, already planning her next visit. ever since we got back she’s been trying to name every animal she sees. the neighbour’s dog is a cow. she moos at cats. pointed at a pigeon yesterday and said “chicken”. she’s so confident about it too that’s the best part😆

i like the energy and want to build on it while she’s this interested. she’s already super into animals after the farm weekend, so feels like the right time to give it a bit more structured and help her learn what’s what properly.

any good resources for this? books, games, anything that actually helps toddlers start recognizing and understanding animals better?
