Shotgun — AI Cofounder Framework for Claude Code

URL: https://github.com/krishnatejavepa/shotgun Stars: 1 (new, just launched on HN) Language: Markdown + Claude Code Skills License: MIT

An open-source framework that turns Claude Code into a persistent, personalized cofounder for solo founders. Includes memory, execution, data vault, and multi-agent review panel.

Key Features

• Persistent memory — Founder profile, venture state, decisions with “why”, session journal
• The Panel — A virtual team of 5 specialists (product, design, QA, release, growth) that reviews work before shipping. Each gives max 3 findings + one verdict.
• Autonomous loops — “keep going until it works” with goal, checkable done-condition, iteration budget
• Experiment mode — Karpathy autoresearch pattern applied to business (metric hill-climb)
• Skills system — Agent writes and repairs its own skills; multi-step tasks become reusable workflows
• Operating rhythm — Daily standups, weekly reviews, zombie-loop detection
• Portable — One command exports entire cofounder (memory, vault, skills) as a bundle

Relevance

Directly relevant to multi-agent orchestration — Shotgun’s “Panel” is a multi-agent system with 5 specialist agents reviewing work. Its autonomous loop system and skill automation represent practical agent orchestration patterns. Positioned as a vertical cofounder tool (vs horizontal assistants like Hermes).
