APIs, CLI, and behavior may change without notice before general availability.\n\n## Why we pivoted\n\nWe started by obsessing over one thing: making AI-generated code *correct*. Self-repair loops, quality scoring, scorecard evidence. Good problems — but narrow ones. Frontier models get better every quarter, and the gap we were optimizing for keeps shrinking on its own.\n\nThe tempting move is to double down — we built it, so we stick with it. But code is cattle, not pets. You don't keep a solution alive just because you wrote it.\n\n```\n          ____________________________\n         \u003c code(human) === cattle now \u003e\n          ----------------------------\n                 \\   ^__^\n                  \\  (oo)\\_______\n                     (__)\\       )\\/\\\n                         ||----w |\n                         ||     ||\n```\n\nSo we killed the old approach and pivoted. UseZombie is now a runtime for always-on agents — you bring your agent, we handle the credentials (hidden from the sandbox, injected at the firewall), webhooks (wired automatically), audit logs (every action timestamped), and a kill switch. Your agent runs 24/7 without ever seeing a password.\n\n## What zombies do now\n\n- **Always-on agents** — your agent runs continuously in a sandboxed process, restarts on crash\n- **Credentials hidden** — agents never see tokens; the firewall injects them per-request, outside the sandbox boundary\n- **Webhooks wired** — receive events from email, Slack, GitHub, etc. without ngrok or custom servers\n- **Observability** — see what your agent did, when, why, and how much it cost — before the invoice surprises you\n- **Spend ceiling** — per-run token budgets and wall time limits; one bad prompt never becomes an infinite burn\n- **Kill switch** — stop any agent mid-action from the CLI or web UI\n\n## Stack\n\n- **Auth** — [Clerk](https://clerk.com)\n- **Hosting** — [Fly.io](https://fly.io) + bare-metal workers\n- **Database** — [PlanetScale](https://planetscale.com) (Postgres)\n- **Queue** — [Upstash](https://upstash.com) Redis Streams\n- **Analytics** — [PostHog](https://posthog.com)\n- **Email** — [Resend](https://resend.com)\n\n## Documentation\n\n| Resource | Description |\n|----------|-------------|\n| [docs.usezombie.com](https://docs.usezombie.com) | User-facing docs (guides, API reference, operator guide, contributing) |\n| [playbooks/](playbooks/) | Agent-readable deployment playbooks and gate scripts |\n\n## Playbooks\n\nPlaybooks are written to be understandable and executable by both humans and agents — each directory contains a markdown doc (`001_playbook.md`) and numbered shell scripts (`00_gate.sh`, `01_*.sh`, `02_*.sh`) that run in order.\n\nSee [playbooks/README.md](playbooks/README.md) for the full index and execution order.\n\n## Local development\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/usezombie/usezombie.git\ncd usezombie\ncp .env.example .env\nmake up        # Start Postgres + Redis + zombied\nmake test      # Run all unit tests\nmake lint      # Format + lint\nmake doctor    # Check config, Postgres, LLM key\n```\n\nSee [docs.usezombie.com/contributing/development](https://docs.usezombie.com/contributing/development) for full setup.\n\n## Agent support\n\nThis repo is configured for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Amp. All agents read the canonical [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) operating model.\n\n| Agent | Config |\n|-------|--------|\n| Claude Code | `CLAUDE.md` → `AGENTS.md` |\n| Codex | `.codex/instructions.md` |\n| OpenCode | `.opencode/instructions.md` → `AGENTS.md` |\n| Amp | `.amp/instructions.md` → `AGENTS.md` |\n\n## License\n\nMIT — Copyright (c) 2026 UseZombie\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fusezombie%2Fusezombie","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fusezombie%2Fusezombie","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fusezombie%2Fusezombie/lists"}
