Notes from the studio. What I shipped, what I learned, what's next.
Agentic engineering with Agent Dashboard
Running a studio with an AI agent fleet goes faster than I expected — but the real win isn't speed. Notes on spec-alignment, token costs, and parallel-execution experiments.
Adding Claude Design as an option
Agent Dashboard had two design paths — free design via the frontend-design skill, or Pencil mockups. Claude Design became the third, then the default.
Shipping the studio site, week one
A week's worth of PRDs on a single repo. CSP, a hero rewrite, trailing slashes, route groups, the Journal itself. The hardest part was what I cut.
Mixing Claude and Codex per agent
Hitting Claude usage limits forced a per-pass model choice — implementation and review can run on different models. Multi-agent software development, one decision per pass.
Swapping Plausible for OpenPanel across the suite
Plausible was the studio's pageview layer everywhere. I swapped to OpenPanel in a day — cost was the trigger; instrumentation headroom was the why.
Where Agent Dashboard came from
The loop that became Agent Dashboard: vision plus backlog, small PRDs, multi-agent review and execution. PRD-driven development at studio pace, agentic engineering in practice.
