An eight-agent team that runs the marketing and product loop for us.
Eight AI agents, each with its own skill file, hand work to each other on a fixed schedule. They market the
books, watch what works, feed it back, and improve the product, mostly on their own. A human approves anything that
goes out or spends money. Click any agent below to see its skill file and the real work it produces.
The single goal
$1,000,000 in annual recurring revenue.
About 2,100 paying subscribers. We start with a 294k-contact list (about 20k active), a 213k-subscriber YouTube channel, 42 illustrated books, and a working reader with payments. Month one is not about revenue: get people in, hook them, maximize reading and interaction, and collect ratings and reviews. Everything is free for the first month. Revenue starts month two, and the loops compound from there.

The relay: how the baton passes
click an avatar
Readers + product
every action becomes data
One book a week, around the ring.
ATLAS picks the book, INKWELL draws the content, HERALD and COURIER publish it, readers act, FORGE fixes and ships, PULSE and LEDGER measure, and ATLAS decides again. The baton never stops. SCOUT feeds new people in from the outside.
Each agent runs from its own skill file in the repo. Click any avatar to read it and see the exact output that agent produces.

05
What happens every month
Close the books
LEDGER writes the monthly revenue and retention report: new subs, churn, plan mix, and whether we hit the month's target.
A bigger swing
One deep-dive video and one set-piece: month one is the Product Hunt launch; later, each new book release is its own mini-launch.
Review the strategy
ATLAS looks at the whole month. If a channel underperforms badly, it proposes a change for Raj to approve.
Harvest reviews
A month of readers is a month of ratings. These become social proof on the site, proof posts, and the signal for which books to push.

The logic in three lines.
Fill the top: the free month converts the warm list and pulls new people from YouTube, LinkedIn, X, SEO, and referrals.
Keep them: streaks, ratings, new books weekly, and the reading habit turn free users into paying ones and hold churn down.
Compound: every week the scoreboard says what worked, and we do more of it. New books and features are new marketing, forever.
If any month misses badly, ATLAS does not hide it: the plan proposes what to change. The target is checked every week.
This is the team explainer. The full operating manual is GROWTH_ENGINE_OPS.md, the visual and voice rules are STYLE.md and VOICE.md, and each agent's exact instructions are its SKILL file in the repo (shown when you click an agent). Everything an agent makes is drafted, queued, and approved before it goes out or spends money.
