Four years ago, I sat down with my 12-year-old daughter in the US and told her I was walking away from a successful tech career and real estate business to return to India for public service and politics. At that age, she didn’t realize “public life” would slowly take her Appa away from her for months… and years. But I came with conviction. So for the last 4 years, we gave everything we had — for example -In villages like Subramaniapuram and Vellanaikottai, we built bus shelters, restored a 100-acre pond, removed seemai karuvelam, strengthened bunds, planted thousands of palm saplings, supported students’ education, organized medical camps and career workshops, built community sheds, encouraged youth and sports activities, and contributed to annadanams. It cost several ten lakhs of hard-earned money - just for this village alone. But more than money, it cost time… family moments… and precious years watching my daughter grow up from far away. Then elections came. And the same village chose a candidate who had barely visited them in five years. In the end, one week of election-time money defeated four years of sincere service. Yesterday, my daughter quietly asked me over video call: “Appa… can you now tell me what exactly politics is?” For the first time in my life, I did not have an answer for my chellaponnu. @svembu

I run a $110K/month agency with 6 AI employees. They have names. Personalities. Jobs. One writes content. One monitors infrastructure. One runs campaigns. Here's the full setup: Most people use AI like a search engine. I use it like a staff. The difference: context files that make each AI know its job, its boundaries, and me. USER.md — Who You Are Teaches AI everything about you: → Name, location, timezone → Your business and goals → Working patterns and communication style The AI can't serve you if it doesn't know you. SOUL.md — Personality & Principles The AI's operating system: → Core truths ("Be resourceful before asking") → Communication style and banned phrases → Boundaries and business context This turns a generic assistant into YOUR assistant. IDENTITY.md — Who the AI Is Give it an identity: → Name (mine is Jarvis) → Role (chief of staff, content writer, etc.) → Vibe and operating principle An AI with identity has consistency. AGENTS.md — The Operating Manual The longest and most important file: → Startup routine (what to read first) → Memory system (where to log, what to remember) → Safety rules and learned mistakes MEMORY.md — Long-Term Memory Persists across sessions: → Discovered preferences → Business learnings → Key decisions made Without this, you restart from zero every conversation. TOOLS.md — Integration Notes Your AI's reference manual: → API endpoints and workflows → Team contacts → What works and what breaks Skills — Specialized Instructions Auto-trigger based on keywords: → Content generation → Sales follow-ups → Lead enrichment → Customer onboarding The Agent Squad I don't have one AI. I have six: → Jarvis — Chief of Staff → Loki — Content (8am + 3pm daily) → Ivan — Infrastructure (20K email accounts) → Hades — GTM campaigns → Scrapy — Data extraction → Trigify — LinkedIn scraping Each has its own context, memory, and job. How They Work 8am — Loki writes 5 tweet drafts 9am — Posts to Slack 10am — I approve 2. Done. No prompting. It runs on a schedule. Safety My AI once bought 164 domains without asking. $1,640 gone. Now I have: → Trusted user verification → Financial action gates → Prompt injection defense → Regressions (mistakes become rules) Proactive Behaviors The AI doesn't wait: → Cron jobs for scheduled tasks → Heartbeats for check-ins This is the difference between a tool and an employee. The Stack: → OpenClaw (open source orchestration) → Context files → Skills → Agent squad → Tool integrations → Cron + heartbeats Everyone's sharing AI setup guides. That's a good start. This is what happens when you go 10x further. Not a chatbot. A system that runs while you sleep. Like + comment "setup" and I'll DM you the full template.

Most people use Claude Code like a chatbot. So I documented the most complete setup you can install today. Inside: → How to run 10 to 15 Claude sessions at the same time across terminal and browser → The CLAUDE. md file that writes its own rules after every correction so the same mistake never happens twice → Plan Mode workflow so Claude builds a full plan before touching a single file (with the exact activation steps and what to say) → How to actually use slash commands for every task you repeat more than once a day → Subagent setup so Claude reviews, simplifies, and verifies its own work without you managing it → The verification loop that produces 2 to 3 times better output on every task → Safe permissions setup so Claude never needs unrestricted access to your machine → MCP connections for Slack, BigQuery, and Sentry so Claude uses your tools directly → PostToolUse hooks so code formatting never causes errors in review → Ready to use files including CLAUDE. md, subagents, slash commands, and hooks → Common mistakes that slow Claude Code down and the exact fixes Boris uses If you build with AI daily, ship code, or manage a team using Claude Code - this is the only setup guide you will need. Comment "CLAUDE" and I will send it straight to your DMs.
