Description

Absence-first ops for Claude Code — a one-person company that keeps running while the CEO is away. Task files are employees; BLOCKED is a feature; the send button is never automated.

afk-company — the office keeps running while the chair is empty

🏢 afk-company

**A one-person company that keeps running while the CEO is away for two months.**

Why this is different

Agent frameworks compete on how much the AI *can* do. afk-company starts from the failure modes of leaving one alone:

How it dies while you're away What afk-company does
AI goes rogue, invents work The runner never invents tasks. No task file, no execution
Token bill explosion Hard daily spend ceiling. Over budget → the company simply rests
Plausible-looking progress on ambiguous work One BLOCKED: marker halts the task into an approval queue
Process dies silently Heartbeat file + a daily proof-of-life report
No idea what happened last month Every state change is a git commit. The repo is the audit log
Money / outbound / contract accidents Tier 3 forbidden zone: the tools simply aren't granted

The 3-tier autonomy model

  • Tier 1 — unattended: deterministic, verifiable, reversible work (batch processing, monitoring, collection)
  • Tier 2 — drafts only: email replies, applicati
