Autonomous Builder

Describe the work. It builds it, checks it, hands it back.

A recipe that turns a plain-English goal into a finished, reviewable change — planned, built, and independently double-checked before you see it. It runs on your own Claude plan, so the limit is your plan's capacity, not a dollar meter.

Connect two things, once

The same "Connect" flow you use for QuickBooks — your Claude, and the project you want worked on. No separate app, no new console.

One-time, just like adding any other tool. Your plan stays yours — disconnect whenever you want.

Tell it what you want

Type the goal in plain English — or point it at a queue to watch, and it picks up work on its own.

It works — and checks its own work

It plans, then builds. The part that makes it trustworthy: a second, independent AI verifies it’s actually done before it’s allowed to finish. No fooling itself.

Working on it…

"Add a Download CSV button to the Customers page"

Running on your Claude
  1. Planned the workBroke the goal into 3 concrete steps — Done
  2. Building the changeIn a safe, isolated copy of your project — In progress
  3. Independent checkA separate reviewer confirms it truly works before finishing — Not started
It only reports "done" after the independent check and a real test both pass — so half-finished work never reaches you.

It stops for your OK on anything risky

Spending money, sending something out, anything you can’t undo — it pauses and asks first, right here or by text. It never ships on its own.

Waiting for youApproval needed

Before finishing, it wants to tell your team the new export is live.

📣 Email 3 teammates: "CSV export is now available on the Customers page."
ApproveNot now

Anything that touches the outside world always stops here first.

You get a finished result to review

It hands you a proposed change to look over and approve — you’re always the one who says "go live."

Ran on your Claude plan · no per-token bill from TeamShift · small flat fee per run

Or hand it your whole backlog

Turn on "work my backlog" and it pulls the next ready ticket on its own, runs it end-to-end, and moves to the next — no babysitting. Because it runs on your Claude plan, what you watch isn’t a bill — it’s how much of your plan’s daily capacity is left.

The limit here isn't dollars — it's how much your plan allows per day. You watch capacity, not a bill.

What it costs, honestly

The AI thinking
Your Claude plan
A flat monthly cost you already pay. No token bill from TeamShift — the constraint is your plan's daily capacity, which you can watch.

The one honest unknown — connecting your Claude

That seamless "connect your Claude, log in once" step is the part we can't yet promise. There's no official way today to connect a Claude plan to an outside product the way you connect QuickBooks — so that step may look different, or need another approach. Everything else here is standard TeamShift.
