/03The System

Six layers of leverage, composed into one AIOS.

Every Stratum build assembles these primitives into a workspace that feels like an extension of how you think. Nothing generic. Nothing borrowed.

/01

Skills

Reusable, model-invokable capabilities. A skill teaches your AIOS how to write a DM, audit a funnel, or run a workflow — once, then forever.

/02

Slash Commands

Personal shortcuts. /daily-brief. /quick-prospect. /report. Each one is a tuned prompt + tool chain, named in your language.

/03

Hooks

Triggered behaviour. Pre-commit lint. Post-message auto-log. Stop-event summaries. The system runs maintenance in the background.

/04

MCP Wiring

Direct integrations with Gmail, Notion, Slack, Apollo, Vercel, custom APIs. Your agent reaches into your stack natively, not through copy-paste.

/05

Sub-Agents

Specialised workers. A research agent. An auditor. A reviewer. Each carries its own context, model, and tools — orchestrated from the main loop.

/06

Cloud Routines

Scheduled agents that run while you sleep. Weekly recompute. Daily brief. Macro audits. The system keeps moving without you.

Manifesto

Software shouldn't be a place you visit. It should be the layer you operate from — custom-fit, ambient, and quietly accumulating leverage every day.

/04Signature build

The operator's own AIOS.

Stratum is built by an operator who lives inside the system they sell. The studio's first case study is the studio itself.

Jesseman's AIOS · live

One workspace runs an entire business and a 90-day body protocol — without a SaaS subscription in sight.

Prospect dossiers, research synthesis, sales workflows, Indian macro framework, six-day lift plan, daily logs, and a caveman output style — all governed by a single CLAUDE.md and twenty-three slash commands. Every input compounds into the next morning's brief.

23Slash commands
16Active skills
6MCP servers
2Operating domains

Outcome

Two-hour ops loop instead of eight. Operator inputs auto-log to a case-study library. Health and business share one source of truth. The studio runs as proof.

/05Execution Framework

Fourteen days from audit to live.

Stratum is a fixed-scope, fixed-timeline build. No phased ambiguity. No moving targets. Four ordered steps.

/01Day 1–3

Excavate

Sixty-minute audit. Map your workflows, recurring outputs, manual loops, and the moments you copy-paste between tools. The blueprint emerges from your operating reality — not a template.

/02Day 3–5

Architect

Translate the blueprint into a CLAUDE.md, skill graph, command list, and hook plan. You approve the architecture before a single line is written.

/03Day 5–12

Construct

Skills, slash commands, hooks, MCP wiring, output styles. Each piece tested in your real workspace, in your real tone, against your real data.

/04Day 12–14

Hand-off

Live walkthrough. Recorded onboarding loom. 30-day email line for tuning. Your operating layer is live and you know how to extend it yourself.

/06Initialise

Tell Stratum what your operating layer should do.

Sixty-second intake. You get a personal reply with a free 15-minute Loom teardown of how your workflow would look as an AIOS — within 24 hours.
