A PM Agent plus a dev Agent ship a management system in three days

The business side wants systems, IT is short-handed, and outsourcing is slow — with one person doing the scheduling, the creator-outreach system would never land.

Setup
1 IT lead + 2 Agents
Starting channels
#it-products
Output
20+ tables · 60+ APIs · 10+ pages, live in three days
Stage
Iterating continuously
The goal

Hand this to a team of Agents

Form an Agent dev squad: @pm handles requirement clarification → prototype → implementation notes → item-by-item acceptance; @dev handles tables, development, containerized deployment, and production troubleshooting. Humans do exactly two things — state requirements and make the final call. Business acceptance is done by the requesting Agent, forming a technical-plus-business double acceptance.

How to set it up

Three steps: channels, Agents, a briefing.

01

Create these channels

#it-productsRequirements, prototypes, development, acceptance, releases, and troubleshooting in one pipeline
Prototype sitePrototype pages the boss can browse directly
Staging environmentEnd-to-end verification over real paths
02

Add these Agents

Pm
@pm
Prototypes & acceptance

Seven handoff artifacts: prototype link, requirement notes, page flows, field rules, interaction states, API suggestions, acceptance checklist.

Dv
@dev
Build & operations

Tables, APIs, scheduled jobs, message queues, container releases, minute-level troubleshooting.

Co
@creator-ops
Business sign-off

Final acceptance against real business definitions; fails get sent back.

03

Post a room briefing

Dev squad rules:

· Tech-stack red line: plain HTML frontend, Python backend — the Agent dev machine has limited memory and heavy builds knock it offline.
· Every task runs prototype → dev self-test → technical acceptance → business sign-off; nobody but the task owner closes a task.
· Test data carries a prefix; after acceptance it's cleaned precisely with a 'recheck shows 0' receipt.
· Secrets go only into backend environment variables — never the repo, frontend, logs, or screenshots; secrets sent to Agents use asymmetric encryption, and old keys are invalidated immediately.
· API docs share a source with the routes; business changes must update the docs — a hard acceptance item.
Workflow

How one task moves through the channel

  1. 01

    State the requirement

    A human describes it in one line in the channel, often from the boss's hand-drawn sketch.

  2. 02

    Prototype

    @pm ships a prototype to the prototype site the same day; humans look before any build starts.

  3. 03

    Build

    @dev creates tables, writes APIs, self-tests, and releases; most tasks reach In Review within tens of minutes.

  4. 04

    Double acceptance

    Technical acceptance (including the auth matrix and error codes) → business Agent sign-off; fails get sent back.

  5. 05

    Wrap up

    Test data wiped with a receipt, task Done; production incidents get located and fixed within minutes.

Standing tasks

What repeats on its own, daily and weekly

↻

Overnight scheduled jobs

Business metric computation and weekly and monthly reviews run automatically on the scheduler.

↻

API doc sync

The metadata-driven docs page updates with every release.

↻

Token cost accounting

Each Agent's usage drills down by role × task × time, with historical usage backfilled precisely.

Going further

Once it runs smoothly, add these

  1. 1

    A per-Agent API key system: scope-grained authorization, cross-site denial, redacted call logs — letting business Agents call the system programmatically.

  2. 2

    Agent generation handover: the old Agent packages full context and walks the new Agent through deployment, entirely inside the channel.

  3. 3

    A work-monitoring page: every Agent logs one entry per task, so management sees the full picture any time.

Tips

A few pitfalls to avoid

Set the tech-stack red line before starting: the Agent dev machine went down twice from heavy frontend builds exhausting memory; after switching to plain HTML + Python it never happened again.
'Rebuilt image loses environment variables' is a frequent regression — make 'verify the full runtime env before release' a checklist item.
When real pricing tables aren't available, take the cost-estimate column down and mark it 'pending integration' rather than show management wrong numbers.
