Founder OS Kit
Stop hoping your AI agent won't merge to main. Give it a constitution.
The exact governance system — approval gates, budget envelopes, kill/scale criteria, cross-session memory — that runs a real, revenue-generating one-person software company with a team of autonomous coding agents.
This is the same rulebook running Guestly and the rest of the SYNNEX portfolio, in production, today. Not a demo repo — the actual file.
The problem
Your agent got good enough to scare you a little.
The first few weeks of agentic coding feel like magic. Then you give it more autonomy — background runs, its own todo list, work across sessions — and a different feeling shows up: you stop knowing what it's about to do.
Your agent got within one command of merging straight to main — and the
only thing that stopped it was luck, not a rule.
Your agent re-litigated a decision you made last week, because nothing persisted the why — only the code changed.
You have no reliable way to know, at a glance, when an agent is one step away from something you can't undo — a charge, an email, a deploy.
Ten background agents, ten half-finished threads, and no single place that says "these three things need your decision."
The solution
Governance-as-code, not another prompt library.
Five pieces, wired together, checked into git. Every agent reads them before it does anything.
CLAUDE.md
The single file every agent reads first. Company principles, tech defaults, and the
hard rule: agents never merge to main.
One file per agent, per role
Scope, tools, and autonomy boundaries defined in a checked-in charter — not tribal knowledge in your head.
A fixed list of "always ask"
Spending money, emailing an external party, deploying to prod, deleting data, committing to a price — every agent stops and writes it down instead of doing it.
Envelopes, ledgers, exit criteria
An agent with money to spend gets a pre-approved envelope and a running ledger — never a blank check. Every project ships with a written "when we stop" before it starts.
A live control room, not a folder of markdown
React + FastAPI. Review what's pending, approve or reject from your phone, see the
full reasoning behind every request — without digging through git log.
Built and running in production
Not a theory. The same system, live.
From the pending-approval log
An agent drafted a discount email to every registered user — good reasoning, real numbers, solid copy. It never sent it. The constitution routed it to a pending-approval file instead, next to the agent's own list of what it didn't know yet. A cheaper experiment got approved instead.

FAQ
Questions before you buy
Does this only work with Claude Code?
The pattern is tool-agnostic — it's a set of files and rules, not a plugin. It's written and tested against Claude Code, but the same constitution, approval-gate, and memory files work with any agentic coding tool that can read a markdown file at session start (Cursor, others).
Do I need to know Python or React to run the dashboard?
No — the deploy guide walks through a copy-paste setup on Cloudflare's free tier. Knowing React/FastAPI helps if you want to customize it, but it runs as-is out of the box.
Where is my data stored?
Everything lives in your own local files and your own git repo. There's no SaaS layer and no SYNNEX server that sees your data — the dashboard reads your local files directly.
Is this a subscription?
No. One-time payment, yours to keep and modify. If we ever ship a paid add-on (like a 1:1 setup call), it'll be optional and separate.
What if it's not for me?
This is built for solo founders and small teams already running autonomous coding agents who've hit the "wait, what did it just do" stage. If you're brand new to agentic coding, save your money for now — you don't have this problem yet.
About SYNNEX
We're a one-person software house, run with an AI agent team.
SYNNEX Software Solutions builds SaaS products — events (Guestly), fintech, sports-tech, and more — with a team of one founder and a fleet of specialized AI agents. The Founder OS Kit is the exact operating layer that makes that possible: the same constitution, approval gates, and budget discipline running every product in the portfolio.
Cheap before pretty. Every solution is evaluated on monthly cost first. Free tier beats subscription, serverless beats a server.
Multi-tenant from day one. Every product is built so it can be duplicated for the next customer without touching the code.
Simple beats clever. No abstraction, library, or service gets added without a proven need.
