How I Replaced a Team of 5 with Claude Code
I don't have a CTO, a project manager, a DevOps engineer, a finance person, or a marketing team. I have Claude Code and a set of custom skills that do what all of them would.
The One Man Company
One developer. One AI.
One developer. One AI.
A full company.
I'm Martino Vigiani. I run SubraLabs — a software development company — entirely solo. My infrastructure is Claude Code + Claude Cowork.
Development, operations, finances, marketing, client communication — everything orchestrated through custom skills, autonomous AI agents, scheduled background tasks, and persistent memory.

The Memory System That Makes Claude Code Coherent Across Sessions
The biggest problem with AI assistants is amnesia. Every conversation starts from zero. Here's how I solved that with a persistent memory layer that gives Claude Code real continuity.
Automating Financial Management with a CFO Agent
Invoicing, expense tracking, revenue reports, tax prep — all handled by an autonomous AI agent that runs on a schedule and reports back to me every morning.
Email Triage Automation: How I Never Miss a Message
Client emails, support requests, newsletters, invoices — everything gets triaged, categorized, and either handled automatically or surfaced to me with full context.
Why I Threw Everything Away and Built with Native Skills
I tried Zapier, n8n, custom scripts, cron jobs. Then I discovered Claude Code skills and rebuilt everything from scratch. Here's why that was the right call.
