< Your company as source code

We are entering an era where the core operational model of your company can be expressed in agent skills and source code, sitting in a git repository[1].

I'm currently in San Francisco, and with minimal hyperbole, you'll hear "agentic" on just about every street corner. There is a fundamental shift being driven by OpenClaw, Claude Cowork, and a raft of agentic-first tools. People are using agents more and more to get their work done.

My preferred tool for agentic work is Claude Code — and I don't mean just for coding. I have a git repo that contains all the integrations, skills, scripts, documentation, and glue to work agent-first. The most well-known expression of this approach that I know of is Garry Tan's gstack.

Most companies today run on a scattered mess. Processes live in Confluence. Policies in Google Docs. Runbooks in Notion. Architecture decisions in someone's head. A lot of the cognitive load for employees is simply gluing these disparate systems and processes together. Everyone who has joined an organization knows the feeling of asking "How do I...?".

With agentic-first, there the logical extension is to

There is a logical extension for this work and that's to have a single repository for the skills and agents that make up an organization. It could be approving expenses through to iterating on your Google Ads.

If gstack and it's peers are any guide, we will be soon operationalize companies into agents and skills. This isn't running an agent locally, it's all employees collaborating, sharing, and constructing an single agent-first operational model.

  1. If you're not familiar with source control: it's how software teams track every change to their code — who changed what, when, and why — with the ability to review, discuss, and roll back anything. Think of it as track changes for your entire organisation, but far more powerful. GitHub's guide to version control is a good starting point.
