A two-person company that operates like a team of twenty.

Claude is the best colleague you have ever hired. It is also asleep. Every night it forgets your name, your prices, and the thing you have now explained four times, twice using diagrams. Skeleton Staff is the house it wakes up in: your voice, your rates, your settled arguments, and 26 specialists who read the lot before they touch your work.

No launch date. No newsletter. No man with a headset called Brad.

Runs on Claude Code. Built by two people and a lot of skeletons.

built for Claude, not bolted onto it

One command in Claude Code, and the staff clock on.

This is not a wrapper. It is not a chatbot in a hat. It installs into Claude Code and speaks its actual language: skills, subagents, memory, MCP. Claude is the only model with somewhere to put things. Almost nobody puts anything there. We put an entire company in, including the arguments.

  • It runs where you already work.One command. Ten minutes. It reads your repo and fills in what it can already see, which is more than you would like.
  • It uses the memory you are already paying for.Skills, subagents, ledgers. Sitting empty in most setups, like a gym membership bought in January.
  • Your staff are Claude, but briefed.Same model. Wildly better colleague. It turns out the bottleneck was never the model.

You bring your own Claude subscription. We do not resell tokens, mark up your API bill, or stand between you and Anthropic like a middleman in a beige raincoat.

what it has

the average of the internet

what it is missing

absolutely everything about you

Brilliant. Tireless. Has never heard of you.

Ask a raw model for your ad, your proposal, your pricing, and it answers from the average of the internet. It has not read your brand voice. It does not know your margins. It has no idea you settled this in March, in writing, twice, and that the second time was quite tense.

What comes back is competent, confident and completely forgettable. Then you spend the afternoon reintroducing yourself to a machine that will have forgotten you again by teatime. This is not a small tax. This is most of your week.

Prompt packs do not fix this. A smarter prompt is still a stranger holding a nicer script.

not prompts in a trench coat

A smarter prompt is still a stranger.

There is a whole industry selling you fifty AI agents in a zip file. It is fifty strangers. They have never read your handbook, because you were never sold one. They are all, in a sense, on their first day. Our specialists read your house first, so they know how you sound and what you charge before they write a word. They run a ship gate before you see anything, so nothing invented and nothing banned reaches your inbox. Then they write down what they settled, so the next one already knows. That is the whole trick. Not a smarter instruction. A colleague with a memory.

There is a house. There are skeletons in it. They work for you.

I.

The Operating System

An installer, ten department manuals, two ledgers. Your voice, your economics, your compliance rules, your settled decisions, your real numbers. It sets the doctrine and does none of the work, like a very good chairman.

  • Installer + 10 department manuals
  • Decision and metrics ledgers
  • Your voice, prices and settled calls, written once
the housethe staff
II.

The Specialists

26 of them, across 9 departments. Each is a Claude subagent with a job, a handbook and a conscience. They read the house, do the work, check themselves, write down what they decided, and never once mention that they are working nights.

  • 26 specialists across 9 departments
  • They read the handbook before they work
  • A ship gate with teeth on every deliverable

Act IThe house

Sessions die. The house survives.

Every Claude session dies. Close the tab and it is gone: your voice, your prices, and the thing you settled in March and have since explained four separate times while quietly losing the will to live. The house is what they come home to. The ledgers survive. The doctrine survives. The handbook survives. Tomorrow it walks in already knowing, and does not ask how your weekend was.

The same email, written by something that forgot you, and something that did not.

A reply to a lead asking what you charge.

Thanks for getting in touch. Straight answer: the full build is £4,800, fixed.

skills/economics/SKILL.md your rates and cost rules, written once

We don't do discovery calls before a price. We decided that in March and it's served us well.

DECISIONS.md the settled call, cited not re-argued

If the scope grows, the ledger keeps score and you'll see every line.

METRICS.md costs tracked where the buyer can check

Plain words, no exclamation marks. That's how we sound.

skills/brand/SKILL.md voice and never-words, enforced

We did not exaggerate this to make a point. It really does put two exclamation marks in. Illustrative example: no real client. Each highlight names the pack file it came from.

Illustrative transcript. It mirrors the recorded install demo, which follows before launch.

Act IIThe staff

26 specialists. None of them sleep. All of them read.

Every specialist is labelled by how it was actually made, because the alternative is lying and the alternative is extremely popular. Core ones were lifted out of a workflow that was already shipping real things. Contract-built ones were built to the contract and tested on a real business before we let them out of the house. Nobody padded this roster to reach a rounder number. Every one works alone too, if you are not ready for the full staff. It will tell you exactly what it is missing, out loud, which we find less annoying than the alternative.

what the ledger remembers

Built running a real company. The ledger remembers all of it.

DUPI Technology Ltd is a two-person consumer-app company that runs its entire operation on this system: planning, shipping, metrics, marketing, all of it through Claude Code. Every figure below is a dated row in its ledger. This product was extracted from that same workflow.

FigureEntry
2people: one founder, one co-founder, no engineering team

Every figure traces to a dated row in our own metrics ledger. There are no revenue numbers and no user numbers here, because the product has not launched. Anyone showing you those before launch is showing you fiction.

Runs on your own Claude subscription. Prices are indicative while we finish arguing about them.

The questions worth asking. And one that is not.

Straight answers. If yours isn’t here, ask us when you join the list.

  • No. We are a two-person company in England that uses Claude for approximately everything and got fed up of introducing ourselves to it every morning like a very polite goldfish. Skeleton Staff is an independent product built to run on Claude Code. Anthropic has not endorsed it, sponsored it, or, as far as we can tell, heard of us.

  • Yes, on purpose. This is built on how Claude genuinely remembers things: skills, subagents, project memory. We built it for one model and did it properly rather than for five and did it badly. You bring your own subscription. We never sit between you and Anthropic.

  • Because free packs are more prompts, and prompts are still strangers. You are buying the house they live in. If a free pack genuinely solves your problem, use it and keep your money. This is for people who have already tried that and noticed.

  • You type one command into Claude Code. Then you answer a few questions and read the output. If you can order a takeaway, you can hire a skeleton.

  • Honesty about where each one came from. Core was extracted from a workflow that ran. Contract-built was built to the contract and validated on a real business first. Every specialist wears its label. Nobody gets to claim an extraction they did not do.

  • No. Buy it once, own it, and we keep improving it for nothing, forever. We are aware this is a terrible business decision. We are doing it anyway.

  • No, and we have written a whole section about it further up, which is either reassuring or a warning sign.

  • Día de los Muertos is a festival about remembering people. Memory is the entire product. Also they work nights and they have never once asked for a pay rise.

  • DUPI Technology Ltd. A two-person company that built this while running itself on it. No engineering team. One extremely well-briefed AI. The proof section above is our own ledger, not a testimonial we commissioned.

The night shift never forgets.

There is no launch date, because nothing ships until it has proved itself on our own company first. Leave your email and you will hear at first light.
