The guide, lesson by lesson.

01

The team for this work

Which agents to hire, which Marketplace templates start them, and the order they need each other in.

Start from the work, not the tool: Status reporting, meeting actions, invoices, deadlines and policy questions as a team of agents that runs the week. The team is Sol · Status (Weekly status reporting), Ada · Actions (Meeting notes and actions), Ivy · Invoices (Invoice and expense organisation), Pol · Policy (Document and policy Q&A). Each starts from a Marketplace template, imported as your own copy, renamed and re-goaled on the setup card; nothing personal and no creator credentials come with a template.

Practice. Open Marketplace, Agent templates, and read the Instructions and Integrations of each template on this list before you import anything. Note which sources each one will ask you for.

Marketplace → Agent templates → open Weekly status reporting. Read Instructions, then Integrations.

02

Hire the first wave

Import, rename, and give a goal with the deliverable, the sources and the finish line.

Import agent creates your copy and opens the setup card. Rename it, replace the goal with yours, and choose When to work. Status reporting is the first hire because it reads what everyone else produces and shows the week at a glance.

Practice. Import Weekly status reporting, rename it Sol · Status, and paste your goal on the setup card. Choose Now, once, and Continue. Check its first deliverable in Doc Manager before the next hire.

Name: Sol · Status. Goal: Every Friday, read the project board and this week's updates in the workspace, and write a one-page status note as a document: what moved, what slipped, who owns each next step, and one risk. Use only the board and the updates; flag anything you cannot verify. Draft only. When to work: Now, once.

03

The group and the second wave

Run the team in one room; hire the rest once the first deliverable exists.

Create group chat, name it Ops pod, add Sol · Status, and post what the team is for. Then hire the second wave with goals that start by reading the first wave's document. @Name directs one member, @everyone the room, Work ↗ opens a member's session. Actions come from meetings; invoices from the inbox; policy answers from approved files only.

Practice. Create Ops pod, add each hire as it joins, and ask every member to post what it made and the one thing it would flag.

@everyone Welcome to the ops pod. Ada: turn Tuesday's transcript into an action register with owners and dates. Ivy: file September's invoices into the expense sheet and flag duplicates. Pol: answer questions only from the approved policy folder and say when the answer is not there. Post what you made and what you'd flag.

04

The routine that keeps working

One recurring job on a schedule, then a status round and a grade.

Deadlines are the operations job that a routine does better than a person. Every run is a session under Finished today. Close each cycle with a status round, "@everyone one line each", and a grade against the acceptance checks each agent wrote first.

Practice. Create the routine, use Run now to get today's first report, then run one status round in Ops pod.

New routine. Name: Deadlines. Instructions: Read the contracts folder and the task records, list every deadline and renewal in the next 30 days with its owner, and flag any without a next step. Say nothing if the list is empty. Frequency: Every week, Monday, 07:00.
