Run your entire software business from your terminal.

CodeMySpec is a platform of harnesses for the founder doing every job. Build the product. Market it. Support it. Each harness is a Claude Code plugin that turns one of those jobs from ad-hoc into a system. Use one. Use all of them. Add the next when you need it.

01// the_frame

You don't have a team.
You have to BE the team.

Solo software founders aren't running a smaller version of a software company. You're running every department of one. The product team. The marketing team. The support team. The ops team. Each of those is a real job, with real systems behind it inside companies that have engineers, marketers, and support staff.

The mistake is trying to do all of it the way a team would, in your head, alone. The fix isn't another SaaS subscription or another to-do list. It's the harness — the discipline a real team uses to make sure work compounds instead of evaporates. CodeMySpec gives you that harness, one domain at a time.

02// the_platform

Two harnesses today.
More as we need them.

Built in the open by a solo founder who's using each harness as he ships it. CodeMySpec's product was built with /codemyspec. Its marketing is being run with /marketmyspec. The next one ships when the bottleneck moves.

/codemyspec

// engineering harness

Build the product.

▸ Production

Specs, requirement graph, six subagents, BDD scenarios, browser-based QA. Phoenix-native today, broader stack support next. The harness that built this product.

→ See CodeMySpec

/marketmyspec

// marketing harness

Market the product.

▸ Early Access

8-step strategy interview with research agents. A /daily-plan that picks today's three activities. 17 infrastructure recipes. Adapts by industry. The harness marketing this product right now.

→ See MarketMySpec

/portmyspec

// support harness

Support the product.

○ Planned

Coming when the bottleneck moves. Built when 25 customers need it; not before. No date promised, no waitlist — it'll be here when it earns its place.

→ Coming next

03// who_its_for

Built for the founder doing every job.

If you're shipping software and there's nobody else in the building, you're our beachhead. If you're a small team — engineer, product, marketing in three chairs or fewer — the same harnesses work; the platform doesn't care whether the user is the founder or someone the founder hired.

▸ Primary

Solo founder

1 person· 4+ jobs· no patience for SaaS sprawl

Wants engineering rigor without an engineering team. Wants a marketing system without hiring a CMO. Wants the work to compound instead of evaporate every Monday.

"I can finally ship like a real company."

Start with one harness →

▸ Secondary

Small software team

2-5 people· cross-functional· founder still doing 3 jobs

Same harnesses, shared across the team via specs and MCP servers. Onboarding is high-touch today by design.

"Our engineer, our marketer, and the founder all work from the same source of truth."

06// objections

Questions founders actually ask.

Q.01Is this a CodeMySpec thing or a different product? +

CodeMySpec is the company and the first product (the engineering harness). MarketMySpec is the second product (the marketing harness). Both live under one platform — same brand, same Claude Code plugin model, same BYO-model commitment. Future harnesses will follow the same pattern.

Q.02I'm a solo founder, not a software business owner. Does this still work? +

That's exactly who we built it for. The harnesses are designed to give one person the discipline a real team would have. Solo founder is the primary audience.

Q.03I have a small team. Can we use this together? +

Yes. Specs are markdown in your repo. MCP servers expose the same source of truth to every team member's Claude Code. The team motion is high-touch today — book time with John to set it up properly.

Q.04Why two products instead of one? +

Different bottlenecks. Engineering and marketing are completely separate concerns; mashing them into one product would help neither. Same brand, same harness pattern, separate scope. You can install just the one you need.

Q.05Is this open source? +

Specs are markdown in your repo. Generated tests are standard ExUnit. The plugin code is a Claude Code plugin — open and inspectable. The platform service that backs team-features and persistence is closed-source, paid post-1.0.

Q.06What if you build something better tomorrow? +

You own the artifacts. Specs, tests, marketing files, daily plans — all live in your repo as markdown. No lock-in. The platform brings continuity across them; you can always walk.

Q.07What stack do I need to use this? +

The engineering harness is Phoenix-native today. Other stack support on the roadmap. The marketing harness works regardless of stack — it's about your business, not your codebase.

Q.08How much time per week? +

Realistically, 5-10 hours/week to keep both harnesses running well. Heavier the first month while you do the strategy interviews and wire the infrastructure. Lighter after. Three activities a day from /daily-plan is the cap.
