Course Module — Command Center

Your AI Command Center

How to run always-on Claude Code AI agents from your phone — using a $6/month Linux server that's technically just a terminal.

Start SetupSee How It Works
The concept

A business that runs while you sleep

Claude Code is a terminal-based AI. Put it on a server with your real skills and a way to talk to it, and you have a command center that works 24/7 — no laptop required.

🖥️
Hetzner VPS
The server

A $6/month Linux server that stays on 24/7. Your laptop can be off. Claude Code runs here.

💬
Discord
Your phone interface

Talk to your agents from any channel on your phone. Each department gets its own channel: #youtube, #email, #finance, etc.

Claude Code
The brain

Claude Code runs in the VPS terminal and executes your real skills — not toy scripts. It can write, post, analyze, and coordinate.

🔑
Skills (tools)
What it actually does

Slash commands wired to real workflows: /sandy-substack, /kit-email, /sl-shorts. Each one does a specific job.

Departments

What your agents actually do

Each department gets its own Discord channel. Agents run on a schedule and post drafts. You approve from your phone.

📺
YouTube

Hides spam, removes attacks, flags threats. You never see the hurtful stuff.

💡
Content Ideas

Real ideas pulled from your comments + similar creators. No made-up trends.

📝
Substack Drafts

Draft from your newest video, in your voice, ready to review + publish.

📧
Email (Kit)

Value emails written in your voice. Draft only — never sends without your yes.

💰
Finance

AI-business spend from both inboxes, formatted as projected vs. actual.

🏘️
Community

A helpful Skool post in your real voice, for you to review before posting.

Setup guide

How to build it

Six steps. All you need is a terminal and an Anthropic API key.

01
Rent a VPS

Hetzner CX22 (~$6/month). Ubuntu 24.04. SSH in from your terminal. This is where everything lives.

ssh root@your-server-ip
02
Install Claude Code

Claude Code is an npm package. Install it globally, then authenticate with your Anthropic API key.

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code && claude
03
Install your skills

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/. Drop in any slash command you want your agent to know — /sandy-substack, /kit-email, /sl-shorts. Each is a markdown file with instructions.

ls ~/.claude/skills/
04
Wire up Discord

Create a Discord bot, invite it to your server, and give each department a channel. A lightweight Node script listens for messages and fires Claude Code commands.

node hermes-bot.js
05
Set up cron jobs

Use crontab to schedule recurring tasks — content ideas at 9am, finance on Sunday, community post at 7am. They run while you sleep.

crontab -e
06
Add approval gates

Every channel posts a draft. You reply APPROVE or SKIP from your phone. Nothing goes live without your yes. This is the most important step.

# Your yes is the gate
Security first

What your agents cannot do

Hard limits baked into the architecture. Your accounts are never at risk.

Agents cannot browse the web or use a browser (blocked in settings)

Approval gate on every channel — nothing publishes without your explicit yes

Gmail is read-only — agents can read but never send

Platform logins (YouTube, Substack, Spotify) live only on your Mac, never the server

Mac-only jobs run through a signed app with narrow permissions
