Act as my project lead: pick a strategy and build a product to sell
A Shopify/CRO freelancer gave the AI a hard $100 budget and 30 days to make a real profit, acting as autonomous project lead with a public ledger; he only authorizes spending and accounts. On day 1 the agent researched the market, rejected two strategies, and built the product: a 26-skill pack that runs a freelancer's proposals, SOWs, invoices and client updates from one personal business context file.
This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.
How it works
- Load one context file (.solo/business.md) holding his services, €650 day rate, terms, tone and active clients
- Research the market and write up three candidate strategies with cost, risk and reward
- Reject freelance arbitrage (terms problems) and SEO/affiliate (too slow)
- Design 26 chained skills that read the context file and write files, not chat: meeting notes to actions, proposal writer, SOW generator, invoice generator, weekly review
- List the pack for sale with five skills free
Why it’s worth knowing
The agent chose its own business strategy, then built a 26-skill back office grounded in one file of his real rates and clients.
