Founder’s Cockpit

A Claude Desktop–style application for solo founders. Spin up a startup project, and an organization of AI agents — CEO, Product Strategist, Designer, Engineer, Marketing, Engagement, Analytics, Release, plus an always-on Buddy advisor — gets to work in your project workspace.

Why

You’re one person with an idea. You don’t have a PM, a designer, a frontend engineer, a backend engineer, a QA, and a growth lead. The Cockpit gives you each of those as a Claude-powered agent — every one of them writing real files into a sandboxed workspace you can inspect, edit, and ship.

The agents

Role	What it produces
CEO / Orchestrator	Routes the next action across the org
Product Strategist	docs/PRD.md — concrete PRD with MVP scope & day-by-day plan
UI/UX Designer	design/mockup.html — Tailwind mockup of 3 screens
Frontend Engineer	apps/web/ + the live preview/index.html
Backend Engineer	apps/api/ scaffolds
QA Engineer	runs the pipeline against the preview, files tickets
Buddy Advisor	Always-on streaming chat; recommends next steps

Plus Marketing, Engagement, Analytics, and Release leads ready to be filled in. Each agent has a tool allowlist (filesystem read/write, listing, shell exec, git) executed safely inside the project’s sandboxed workspace at backend/workspaces/{user_id}/{project_id}/.
