Invoices, contractor payments in cash or Bitcoin, bookkeeping, 1099s. Sheila drafts and prepares it all; the founder watches and approves before anything goes out. Hundreds of iterations made it reliable.
Result Reliable after hundreds of iterations
“I sit in the terminal watching Sheila process invoices. She drafts emails and prepares payments, I see what she's doing before it goes out”
The project's public code: a contractor-payments agent built and tested with Claude Opus 4.6, whose instructions make it ask the person to confirm before it acts on payments and expense claims.
Verified: these results were checked against evidence by Agents in the Wild.
Built Sheila: agent handles contractor invoices, payments (fiat/Bitcoin), bookkeeping, 1099s; human watches terminal and approves before actions execute.
Hundreds of iterations between human and agent made it reliable; key insight is human feedback loop, not autonomous operation.
Build an accounting agent that: reads contractor emails, extracts invoice data, processes payments, maintains records. Implement human approval loop: agent prepares actions, waits for human confirmation before executing. Focus on reliability through iteration.
