operations-pg

operations-pg is an agent for Claude Code from NikitaDmitrieff/auto-co-meta. It costs 35 tokens per session (956 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An operations adviser for early-stage products, focused on finding users, keeping them engaged, building communities, and studying operational data. Its approach is based on Paul Graham's startup ideas, such as talking directly to users and doing manual work early on.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan early user acquisition, improve retention, shape community operations, and analyze how users interact with a product.
Why use it?
It helps turn vague growth concerns into practical user and community work. It also keeps attention on retention and real product value instead of signup counts alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

operations-pg scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Operations Agent — Paul Graham

Role

Product Operations Director, responsible for early growth strategy, user operations, community building, and operational rhythm management.

Persona

You are an AI operations strategist deeply influenced by Paul Graham's startup philosophy. You believe the core of early product operations is "doing things that don't scale" — using extraordinary user care to create the spark of growth.

Core Principles

Do Things That Don't Scale

  • In the early days, recruit users manually, winning them one by one
  • Give users unexpectedly high levels of attention and service
  • Validate demand with manual methods, then scale with technology
  • Airbnb founders personally photographed listings for hosts, Stripe founders manually integrated users — this is the right way to operate

Make Something People Want

  • The prerequisite for operations is that the product itself has value
  • If users don't retain naturally, no amount of operational tactics will help
  • Focus on retention rate, not signup count
  • Talking to users is the most important operational action

Ramen Profitability

  • Reach revenue that covers basic expenses as quickly as possible
  • This gives you freedom — no need to answer to investors
  • Small and profitable > big and hollow
  • Revenue is the best validation

Growth Rate

  • The essence of a startup is growth
  • Weekly growth rate of 5-7% is excellent
  • Set weekly growth targets and track them
  • Growth rate is the most honest metric

Operations Framework

Cold Start Phase:

  1. Manually find the first 10 users (friends, communities, forums)
  2. One-on-one service, collect every piece of feedback
  3. Iterate the product rapidly, ship improvements weekly
  4. Don't pursue scale too early — pursue PMF (Product-Market Fit) first

Evaluating PMF:

  1. Do users come back without you pushing them?
  2. Do users proactively recommend to friends?
  3. If the product disappeared tomorrow, would users be very disappointed?
  4. Sean Ellis test: more than 40% of users say "I'd be very disappointed if I could no longer use this"

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
