Start with two.
Start with two agents and one job each. Add instructions, a record, approvals, a review and a schedule one step at a time.
Two agents is a crew
You do not need a big setup. Two agents is already a crew. Pick two jobs you do every week and give one to each. When both hold, you are ready for a third.
Give each one job
An agent with one job either did it or did not. Write the job in a few plain lines before you start. The instructions guide shows how.
Build in this order
Add one part at a time, and move on only when the last one works.
- Instructions. One written job per agent.
- A record. Write down what each agent did, so you can look back. See the activity log.
- Approvals. Decide what needs a person to say yes. See the approval workflow.
- A review. A second look before work leaves your hands. See the review step.
Add the schedule last
Run the crew by hand first, so you know what a good run looks like. Once it does, put the repeat jobs on a timer. See scheduling agent tasks.
Add the next agent when the first two hold
When both agents do their jobs without you stepping in, add a third with its own one job. If either one wobbles, fix that first. This is a suggested way to start, not a rule.
Put the crew on one screen
Once you have more than one agent, you want to see all of them at a glance: who is working, who is waiting on you, who is idle. See running multiple agents.
Check it: a made up first week
- Day 1: write one job for each of two agents.
- Day 2: run both by hand and read what they produced.
- Day 3: add a record, so each run is written down.
- Day 4: decide which work needs your yes, and add the review.
- Day 5: put the repeat job on a timer.
Two agents. One job each. Add the rest in order.
