The files that run my agent setup (now available)
The hardest part of building an AI agent system isn't the technology.
It's the blank page.
You know what you want: an agent that knows its role, stays in its lane, handles recurring work without you micromanaging it. But when you sit down to write the system prompt, you stare at the cursor.
What do you actually put in there?
Over the past several months I've built a 5-agent council that runs my YouTube production pipeline. There's a CEO agent that sets direction and delegates. A technical operator that runs the render pipeline. A marketing lead that manages uploads and metadata. A researcher. A writer.
They coordinate, they hand off, they escalate to me when they need to. Most days, I don't have to touch the operational work at all.
The system works because of three things: each agent has a clear identity (SOUL.md), a clear daily protocol (HEARTBEAT.md), and a clear lane.
I've packaged those files — plus the architectural patterns that tie them together — into a starter kit.
AI Agent Workflow Starter Kit — $27 →
15 templates. Copy-paste. Every placeholder clearly marked. Works with Claude Code, OpenClaw, n8n, or any system that reads markdown as agent instructions.
What's included:
- 5 SOUL.md templates (CEO, CTO, CMO, Researcher, Writer)
- 2 HEARTBEAT.md protocols (strategic + operational)
- 4 architecture patterns (council design, delegation matrix, escalation protocol, voice & tone)
- 4 infrastructure templates (skill template, pipeline gates, AGENTS.md, status doc)
30 minutes to adapt your first agent. 2–4 hours for a full council.

The Delivery Audit A 20-minute pass over every automation you own, to find the ones running in the dark. Companion to "The automation nobody sees." You don't need any tools open to start. A list andtwenty minutes. Step 1 — List them (5 min) Write down every automation you currently have running. Zaps, Make scenarios, n8n workflows, Kitsequences, scheduled reports, dashboards, recurring exports, anything on a timer. Include the ones you forgot about. Those are the point.

Ten weeks since my last email. The automation guy went quiet again, and this time the reason is a bit embarrassing. I built the AI Agent Workflow Starter Kit and wrote this email announcing it. Then I never pressed send. It has been sitting in drafts for months while I got on with everything else. Turns out being busy is a very reliable way to ship nothing. So here it is, as I wrote it. The hardest part of building an AI agent system isn't the technology. It's the blank page. You know what...
I once spent £300 on an Iron Man figure because I "earned it." This was my productivity reward system. Hit a revenue milestone, buy a collectible. Complete a major project, add to the collection. Sounds smart, right? Gamify your work. Create incentives. Make the grind feel like a game. Here's what actually happened: Month 1: Hit the milestone, bought the figure, felt genuinely motivated. Month 2: Missed the milestone, bought the figure anyway "for future motivation." Month 3: Tight month...
