AMBITION GETS SUPPORT

One idea. More ways to move it forward.

Name the companyAdd your teamKeep the context

HUMAN DIRECTION Patchwork Studio

Pick the perspective the idea needs next.

Three peer roles, one shared company, and responsibilities everyone can inspect.

ROLE BRIEF · RESEARCHER

Find the right starting point.

Clarify the next requirement. Bring back sources, a clear brief and the questions that still need an answer.

  • Trace requirements to supplied sources
  • Separate evidence from assumptions
Example team configuration.

Choose and start your tools separately. Importing starts no work and books no hours.

How do I use the example?
  1. Install VCM using the current release instructions.
  2. Open Settings → Import a company definition and choose the downloaded JSON.
  3. Review the three roles and adapt their responsibilities to your project.

Optional execution needs a separately configured runtime and your own provider access. This page explores a saved team definition; it does not run agents.

Time Tracker

Keep hours, corrections and exports connected to the people and work they belong to.

Understand the boundary
What recorded effort means

Booked hours describe human-equivalent effort. They are separate from model runtime, measured savings, invoices and accepted output.

OPEN SOURCE. OPEN POSSIBILITIES.

Built for people who build.

VCM + THE TOOLS YOU CHOOSE

Your setup. Comes with you.

Bring your AI team setup to Buzz. Connect Slack when your workflow needs it.

Roles and instructions can travel to Buzz Desktop. Slack remains an optional experimental connector; company history stays in VCM.

LOCAL-FIRST · NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED

Small start. Big possibilities.

Company management and the Time Tracker need no VCM account or AI provider. Run one command, open the local URL and create a company of your own.

  • Your company stays on your machine.
  • The complete current core is MIT licensed.
  • Connect a runtime when you’re ready to put an agent to work.

TERMINAL

Install VCM

0.1.0-alpha.11

Technical alpha · Node.js 24.14+ within 24.x, or 26.x · npm

Start with one command
npx virtualcorporationmanager

Open the local URL. Press Ctrl+C to stop; run the same command to return. The first download needs internet. Your workspace stays on your machine.

Install it permanently
npm install -g virtualcorporationmanager
vcm

The package is virtualcorporationmanager and vcm is its only installed command. Updating an existing installation? Stop VCM, run npm install -g virtualcorporationmanager, then run vcm with the same data settings. If a differently named older application already occupies the global vcm command, use npx virtualcorporationmanager or remove that older application through your package manager first. Removing the app keeps your workspace data.

Your workspace stays in ~/.gitflash unless GITFLASH_DATA_DIR or --data-dir says otherwise.

WHEREVER YOU START

Solo. Never small.

Build what comes next.
