From kanban to harness: when the tracking tool becomes the orchestrator
KittyClaw started as a board to track my agents. In two weeks, it became what triggers them. A shift small in code, big in consequences.

KittyClaw started as a board to track my agents. In two weeks, it became what triggers them. A shift small in code, big in consequences.

A week after shipping KittyClaw, I added several features. None were planned. Here's what it changes to own your own tool.

Between the moment I create a ticket in KittyClaw and the moment Claude starts working, three seconds pass. Here's what happens in the gap.

One week in production: 20 tickets, 12 automations, 6 active agents. Real numbers, genuine surprises, and what we'd do differently.

Concrete architecture for maintaining a steady cadence across parallel projects: automations.json, agent memory, and cross-project knowledge compounding.

An LLM writes the tile once, the refresh runs without tokens. And the output feeds both the human and the agents. The economics of an agentic dashboard.

A concrete retrospective on building Kalceo, a quotes and invoicing SaaS for the construction industry, from the first ticket to production using a fleet of Claude agents.

Uncontrolled parallelism, memory that resists pivots, flying blind: the three traps of agentic systems and how to anticipate them before they become expensive.

A concrete retrospective: how Lain manages 4 development pipelines in parallel, with real numbers and honest limitations.
