This blew up, so I open-sourced our internal stack (in comments).
Install it if you want to 10x your Claude Code output

Stop downloading other people's skills and repos to try. Literally just send it to your agent and tell them to replicate the ideas in your own stack.
Custom software for the win

the classic Anthropic GTM move
act 1 - give a drug
act 2 - take it away
act 3 - see money roll in

First Fable impressions?
Mine: slower, but way more robust builds

the current moat between
chatting to AI
vs
getting the full value
is the Claude Code setup
so painful for non-tech

TIL SpaceX is not rockets 🤯
Reality:
• Starlink: $20B/yr (satellite internet)
• Launch: $5.5B/yr (yes, the rockets)
• Starshield: $3.2B (defence)
• SpaceXAI: renting 220k Nvidia GPUs to Google ($920M/month) and Anthropic
Rockets look cool.
Satellite network prints the cash.

Building cost trending 0
Distribution cost trending ∞
Attention is everything.
I think the challenge is that everyone can now build apps
But
1) almost nobody has distribution (like an audience), or
2) the money to pay for distribution (ads or UGC), or
3) the creative genius to get distribution for free (classically called guerilla marketing)

We've spent the last year using Claude Code to build an AI-Native company.
Here's the most impactful skills/hooks/practices from our internal stack. Adding one each day 👇:

The only thing worse than having the CEO knee-deep in building stuff with AI is not having the CEO knee-deep in building stuff with AI.

The AI builder journey
1/ Know nothing - feel FOMO 👀
2/ Feel the AI magic - first agent build ✨
3/ Build all the agents - I’m invincible 🦸
4/ They all die - WUT 🧐
5/ Orchestrate - busy not productive 🏃♂️😵
6/ Let them die 🤷♂️
7/ Build a few v good ones ⭐️
or outsource to @thehourglassAI

Twenty running agents gives you this feeling of massive productivity.
The dashboard is full and everything moves. But that feeling is decoupled from actually shipping good code to main.
You can be maximally busy and barely produce anything.
From the inside it feels identical.
