The Indie Founder Agent Infrastructure Bootstrap Playbook

Scaffold your project from a reusable boilerplate

Select the appropriate Boilerworks template for your agent project — auth, CI, and infrastructure are pre-configured. Clone the boilerplate and customise the agent logic layer rather than rebuilding scaffolding from scratch.

Assign secure identities and credentials to each agent

Use AgentLair to provision a dedicated email identity and credential vault for each agent in your system. Connect external service accounts through the vault so credentials never live in environment variables or agent prompts.

Wire in persistent memory via MCP

Integrate Memoir into your AI coding tool setup via MCP so your agents accumulate and reference project context across sessions. Configure memory scopes per agent role to avoid context bleed between agents.

Connect browser access for web-dependent agents

Integrate the Browserbeam API into any agent that needs to read, navigate, or extract data from web pages. Replace any brittle Playwright or Puppeteer scripts with Browserbeam calls designed to stay stable across page changes.

Forecast costs before going live

Run your agent workflow design through Flowcost to estimate token usage and monthly API costs under expected load. Adjust model selection, caching, and task frequency based on the forecast before your first real user hits the system.
