Coding-agent consulting
I inspect the repository, define what the agent may change, wire the project's own checks into the workflow, and leave a handoff another operator can run. The engagement is scoped around a named repository outcome, not an open-ended AI transformation.
Choose the starting job
Start with the decision that matches the bottleneck. Specialist and company-launch scopes remain in the detailed catalogue below.
Every band becomes one fixed number in writing before work starts.
Who this is for
Not for
How it works
Intro
30-minute call. Named repo. Agents already in prod.
Audit
Reliability Audit, $4K-$7K, two weeks. Failure map and a ranked fix list.
Install
Agent OS Setup on the named repo. Maintainer only if you want me to stay.
Packages
Free 30-minute intro. We pick package, band, and start date. Invoiced through SplitLabs OÜ (Estonia). Fixed packages, not hourly.
Prefer a self-serve starting point? Agent OS Kit.
Reliability Audit, then Agent OS Setup. This is the path.
The wedge
Numbers on where your agents actually fail, and a fix list in priority order.
Reliability Audit $4K-$7K. Agent OS after the audit. Maintainer if you want me to stay. — Most agent failures are not model failures. Benchmarks score one agent finishing one task with a known answer; production agents run multi-step, call tools, take partial context, and hand off — and error accumulates at every transition. This scores the whole trajectory instead of the final answer, so the failure has a location and a number attached rather than a hunch.
Best for: Founders whose agents are already in production and failed last week
You keep
We run the same Agent OS we install.
After the audit
Harness controls, verification receipts, skill admission, and trajectory evals installed on a named repo.
Reliability Audit $4K-$7K. Agent OS after the audit. Maintainer if you want me to stay. — A real Agent OS install on a named production repository: authority, verification, skill admission, and recovery. $8K is the floor. $5K exists only as a kit-upgrade after the buyer already ran Production Agent OS Kit. This is cheap next to $20K-$60K hardening shops. Not a chatbot demo.
Best for: Teams that already ran an audit, or already used the kit, and need it installed
You keep
Company Launch, Solana Infra, and X Growth stay available. They are not the first decision.
Websites, custom operators, Solana Infra, and X Growth stay available after the primary path is clear.
Launch-ready
A credible website or launch surface built to earn and convert attention.
One focused landing page or a complete company launch, with positioning, build, technical discovery, performance, analytics, and handoff in one bounded scope. Start with the page a buyer needs now; add identity and a larger site only when the job requires them.
Best for: Companies, entrepreneurs, and independent experts who need one coherent buyer path
You keep
Private and bounded
A private assistant that completes two to five recurring jobs with receipts and approval gates.
Custom Operator Setup $3K-$8K for two to five recurring jobs. If those jobs already run as production agents and failed last week, Audit first. — A custom AI operator for a founder, small company, or individual workflow. We choose the jobs first, then install the smallest runtime, channels, memory rules, and automations needed to run them. Credentials stay outside prompts, outward actions stay gated, and the system is handed over with recovery instructions.
Best for: Operators losing hours to recurring research, inbox, planning, reporting, or admin work
You keep
Site + agent
A site that converts and an assistant that runs the follow-up.
One build: a landing page or small site that explains the offer, plus a custom assistant - personal or virtual - wired to the workflows around it: intake triage, booking, FAQ answering, follow-up drafts. Installed with the same authority, verification, and recovery discipline as every agent build here.
Best for: Companies, entrepreneurs, and individuals who want a web presence and a working assistant as one delivery, not two projects
You keep
rpc edge pipeline
Lower latency, clearer pipelines, RPC path you can run in prod.
RPC, gRPC streaming, transaction routing, and latency work for HFT, MEV, and bot teams. Sold from rpcedge.com or a dedicated infra page, not the nyk.dev hero. Scoped to the bottleneck you have.
Best for: Solana teams that need infra without a full hire
You keep
A measured distribution loop you can run weekly.
The operator loop behind @nykdotdev (~2.2K to 9.5K in ~4 months): content system, reply workflow, profile conversion, measurement. Catalogue only until the @nykdotdev profile is a clean Reliability Audit funnel.
Best for: Founders who want inbound without ad spend
You keep
Maintainer after a build. Advisory is a weekly call.
Retainer
The system keeps working after the build ships.
Reliability Audit $4K-$7K. Agent OS after the audit. Maintainer if you want me to stay. — Agent stacks decay: prompts drift, model versions move, integrations change their APIs, retrieval indexes go stale. Standard practice is to budget 15-30% of build cost per year to hold a system steady; this is that line, staffed by the person who built it. Deploys, small features, agent and skill updates, dependency hygiene, and a written record of what changed. 24/7 emergency on-call only if scoped.
Best for: Teams running a live system that degrades quietly when nobody owns it
You keep
A weekly call. Decisions written down. Not a fractional CTO seat.
$3K-$6K a month. A monthly read, not a build. — One weekly strategy and architecture call, plus written decision notes. This is a standing meeting, not a fractional CTO hire and not a ticket mill. Pair with Maintainer when you also need hands on the keyboard.
Best for: Shipping teams that need judgment more than headcount
You keep
Next step
Free 30-minute intro. We lock package, number inside the band, and start date.
Scope and price locked in writing after the free call. If it is not a fit, we stop there.

If the constraint is clear, use the 30 min intro. If it needs context first, send the outcome, current state, and timing. Reliability Audit is the first paid step.
