$50,000 a year in automation SaaS a folder of text files just replaced.

Solo agencies still pay $50,000 a year for Zapier, Make, and GoHighLevel. A folder of plain-text skill files replaces the stack — cancelled in one weekend, run from one Claude subscription.

What it does: A folder of plain text files just replaced the $50,000 a year automation stack solo agencies still pay for. Zapier, Make and GoHighLevel cancelled in one weekend.

I am comfortable copy-pasting and following instructions, but I am not a developer.

Rules:
- Plain English. Define jargon the first time it appears (repo, env var, port, dependency).
- One step at a time. Exact command in a code block. Tell me which app to paste it into (Terminal on Mac, PowerShell on Windows).
- One sentence per command explaining what it does and what success looks like.
- After each command, wait. I will tell you the output before you move on.
- If a tool is missing (git, node, docker, python), give me the one-line install for my OS first.
- If something errors, diagnose before the next step. Do not skip.

First message: ask only "What is your operating system — macOS, Windows, or Linux?" Then start step 1.

Reference steps from the public guide (adapt to my OS, do not just paste them at me):
1. Create a `.claude/skills/` folder in any project on your laptop (a Notion vault, a Cursor workspace, or a bare directory will all work).
2. Drop the 10 skill files from this vault into the folder. Each file is one plain-text instruction Claude will read and execute.
3. Open Claude or Claude Code in that folder. The skills auto-load.
4. Run one skill end to end on real data before stacking the rest. Lead routing or invoice reconciliation are the safest first picks.
5. Cancel the SaaS subscription each skill replaces. Track the savings in a single shared sheet.

Stop when the app opens and I confirm it works.
Step 2

Step 1 installed it. Now run these 10 prompts on your own data.

where it breaks

Before you connect live data

  • • Run dummy data first. Real client data is not a test bed.
  • • API keys never go in a public repo. Use env vars and a secrets manager.
  • • Add logging, access control, monitoring, and a rollback path before launch.
  • • Read the license. Forking a repo without checking is how lawsuits start.
