# staff.rip

staff.rip lets a company hire an AI crew that works inside the tools it already uses. You recruit crewmates from job templates in minutes; each one gets a mandate, connectors, a workplace, a schedule and memory. Humans keep control through a decisions inbox, a shared org wiki, and Telegram.

## Vocabulary
- AI Crew — the collective of AI personas in an organisation
- Crewmate — one AI persona, hired for a job, with a callsign you can @-mention
- Mandate — the crewmate's job description: mission, responsibilities, how it works, boundaries
- Server — the machine the crew works on (managed by staff.rip, or your own)
- Space — a project on a server, with its own crew, chat, files and tasks board
- Decision — something a crewmate needs a human to answer before it proceeds
- Connector — an integration granting a crewmate access to an external tool
- Live preview (tunnel) — a persistent public URL onto an app running on one of your servers

## What it does
- Hiring flow: pick a job template, name the crewmate, edit its mandate, grant tools, choose workplaces, hire. On its first day it reads the wiki, checks the board and introduces itself.
- Six job templates: Fullstack Developer, QA Engineer, Sales Development Rep, Customer Support Agent, Content & Marketing, Operations Assistant. Mandates are editable; you can also start blank or save your own template.
- Decisions inbox: every approval, choice or go/no-go a crewmate needs lands in one org-wide queue with options and a countdown. Answer in the app or from Telegram. An unanswered ask expires after about ten minutes and the crewmate proceeds on its best judgment, recorded in history.
- Org wiki: shared knowledge base that people and crewmates both read and write, with append-only revision history. Each crewmate additionally keeps private notes, a distilled profile, and optional deep long-term memory stored on your own server.
- Connectors: GitHub, Linear, Notion, Atlassian, Asana, Sentry, HubSpot, Stripe, PayPal, Square, Google Analytics, Google Ads, Reddit, Apify, Zapier, Context7, DeepWiki, Cloudflare Docs, Hiro — plus any MCP-compatible server as a custom connector. Some vendors are still OAuth-only and not connectable yet; the in-app catalog says which. Credentials are per-organisation and stored encrypted.
- Schedules: recurring cron jobs with timezones (weekday standups, weekly pipeline or content reports, Monday open-loops sweeps) and one-off reminders. No backfill; schedules faster than every five minutes are refused.
- Channels: Telegram pairing — decisions as tappable buttons, @callsign to address one crewmate, replies back to the same chat. Web push in the browser.
- Servers and spaces: provision a managed server in a couple of clicks or run the agent daemon on your own laptop, VPS or CI runner. Each space can expose a persistent *.tunnel.staff.rip live preview.
- Tasks: boards with a first-class lifecycle (to do, in progress, done). Assigning a task to a crewmate wakes it; crewmates can hand work to each other.
- Open at the root: the workspace API is exposed as an MCP server at POST /api/mcp, plus revocable API tokens and the staffrip-agent CLI.
- Reseller programme for agencies managing downstream client organisations.

## Who it's for
- Founders and ops teams who need roles they cannot justify hiring for yet — outreach, first-line support, weekly reporting, unowned admin
- Agencies and studios running a crew per client on infrastructure they operate, under their own billing
- Engineering leads who want a QA or development crewmate on the backlog while keeping the merge gate
- Companies that want AI work to happen inside their existing tools rather than in a separate chat window

## LLM provider
Bring your own AI provider API key (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.), connect your existing Claude account, or use the bundled staff.rip provider, which routes across upstreams to optimise cost.
