Your agency, run by a crew of agents you can see.
The complete master plan: 32 agents across 7 divisions, how each one is built on Claude with ChatGPT as a support model, how every brand's apps plug in, and how you watch and approve it all from one live map on desktop or phone.
Every live property, in one place
The apps this command centre already watches over. As each one is wired into the agent layer below, its live status and activity will surface here automatically instead of a static badge.
Live activity (simulated)
Seven layers, one control room
Every agent follows the same pattern: a trigger creates a job, the orchestrator hands it to an agent, the agent uses connectors to read and act, risky actions stop at your approval gate, and every step streams to z-cc.link as an event. Add a new agent or app and it appears on the map automatically.
Request-to-result flow
- Trigger firesA schedule, a webhook (new email, comment, form or order) or you via dashboard, mobile or Slack drops a job on the queue.
- Orchestrator routes itPicks the job up and hands it to the right specialist agent.
- Agent worksReads from Brand Brain, acts through the Connector Hub (MCP, n8n, APIs).
- Risk checkRisky or public actions go to the Brand and Claims Guard first; everything else is acted on and logged directly.
- Approval where neededFlagged items land in the approval inbox on z-cc.link — approved items proceed, edits go back to the agent.
- Logged and visibleEvery action writes to the events and audit log, which streams live to the z-cc.link dashboard.
The full agent roster
Your six requested agents, split into focused specialists where one job is really three, plus the agents a modern AI and digital agency needs to run end to end. Each agent has one clear mission, explicit triggers, a limited tool set and a set autonomy level. Select any card for its full specification and build recipe.
Autonomy levels and approval rules
Every agent carries a level. Start each new agent one level lower than its target, review two weeks of logs, then promote it. Promotion and demotion are a single switch on the agent's page.
Observe
Reads, analyses and reports. Cannot change anything outside its own notes.
Draft
Prepares work in full. Nothing leaves the building until you approve it.
Act within rules
Acts alone on allowlisted, low-risk cases. Everything else waits for you.
Autonomous
Acts and logs. You review summaries. Reserved for internal or already-approved work.
What always needs a human
| Action | Default | Can become automatic when |
|---|---|---|
| Publishing a new post, ad, blog or newsletter | Approve | Never for first publication. Approved posts then schedule and publish automatically. |
| Replying to comments and DMs | Rules | FAQ-type questions answered from Brand Brain with high confidence. Complaints, pricing, legal, press and anything emotional always escalate. |
| Sending email | Rules | Categories you allowlist: acknowledgements, meeting confirmations, standard info requests, document resends. |
| First cold outreach to a new lead | Approve | After a sequence template is approved, follow-ups within that template can run automatically and stop on any reply. |
| Anything involving money: spend, invoices, refunds, discounts | Approve | Ads may pause spend within a budget cap. Increasing spend always needs you. |
| New product claims, health, legal or regulated statements | Approve | Never. The Claims Guard blocks and flags them. |
| Connecting a new app or granting new permissions | Approve | Never. |
The tool stack
Claude is the brain and runtime for every agent. ChatGPT Pro sits alongside as a second opinion, research partner and creative generator. Everything else is plumbing chosen so you can add apps without rewriting agents.
Claude — main engine
- Claude Agent SDK (TypeScript or Python) runs each agent loop inside your own worker, with tools and MCP servers attached. This is the core runtime.
- Claude Managed Agents (Anthropic-hosted, currently beta) for long-running or multi-hour jobs where you'd rather not run the sandbox yourself. Prototype on the SDK, move heavy jobs here.
- Model routing: Opus 5 for strategy, planning and orchestration; Sonnet 5 for writing, replies and blogs; Haiku 4.5 for high-volume classification like email and comment triage.
- Claude Code to build the dashboard, workers and connectors; Claude Design to iterate on the dashboard UI before coding it.
- Skills to package each brand's voice, rules and templates so every agent loads the same instructions.
- Cowork and Claude in Chrome for tasks on sites with no API, run supervised rather than scheduled.
ChatGPT Pro — support crew
- Deep research as a second, independent research pass for the Social Strategist and Blog Planner. Disagreements between the two models are a useful quality signal.
- Image generation for social creatives and blog headers inside Creative Studio.
- Codex as a second coder and reviewer on pull requests Claude Code writes.
- Cross-model QA: a quick "red team" check on high-stakes posts or emails before they reach your approval inbox.
- Custom GPTs for team members who need quick brand-voice help without dashboard access.
Full stack by job
| Job | Recommended | Alternatives | Why |
|---|
Tool features, pricing and API access rules change often. Confirm current terms for each service before committing.
Connector Hub: add a new app in five steps
Agents never hold passwords or talk to apps directly. They ask the Connector Hub for a named capability ("post_to_linkedin" for brand X). That single rule is what makes adding apps and brands easy.
- Pick the connection routeOfficial MCP server if one exists; otherwise a managed-auth platform (Composio or Pipedream Connect); otherwise an n8n node; custom API code only as a last resort.
- Authorise per brandRun the OAuth flow from z-cc.link → Connectors → Add. Tokens go to the secrets vault, scoped to one brand, never into prompts.
- Write a manifestA short file naming the capabilities it exposes, which are read-only and which are write actions that need an approval level.
- Grant to agentsTick which agents may use which capabilities. The Engagement agent gets reply_comment; the Strategist gets read_insights only.
- Health check and go liveThe hub pings the connection hourly, tracks rate limits and token expiry, and turns the tile red on the dashboard before anything breaks.

Connector catalogue to plan for
Build guides for the core pipelines
Build these in order. Each one reuses the same worker, event logging and approval gate, so the first pipeline takes longest and later ones mostly add prompts and connectors.
- Create one monorepo with Claude Codeapps/dashboard (Next.js), apps/worker (agent runner), packages/agents (definitions and prompts), packages/connectors (manifests), supabase/ (schema and migrations).
- Stand up SupabasePostgres, Auth, Realtime and pgvector. Run the schema in the Data model section. Enable Row Level Security from day one.
- Write the generic workerOne function that loads an agent definition, loads brand context, runs the Claude loop with only the allowed tools, and writes every step to the events table.
- Add the approval toolGive agents a request_approval tool. It writes to the approvals table and pauses the job. When you approve on z-cc.link, the job resumes.
- Add a durable queueTrigger.dev or Inngest for schedules, retries, concurrency per brand and step-level resumption after approval.
- DeployWorker in Docker on Railway, Fly.io or a small VPS; dashboard on Vercel or Cloudflare Pages; z-cc.link DNS on Cloudflare with Cloudflare Access in front.

Data model
Everything the dashboard shows comes from these tables. Brands, agents and connectors are data, which is what lets you scale to many brands and agents without new code.

Guardrails that keep automation trustworthy
An agency runs on reputation. These controls stop one bad reply, leaked token or runaway loop from becoming a client problem.
Keeping costs predictable
Right model for the job
Small models classify and route; large models only plan and write. Classification is usually the highest-volume work.
Cache and batch
Prompt caching for brand context loaded on every call; batch processing for non-urgent jobs like monthly research and link checks.
Budgets per agent
Daily cost caps per agent and brand. The worker pauses an agent that hits its cap and alerts you.
