What happened
Shimmochi runs a Claude Code "commander" agent that rebuilds his task list from GitHub and Notion, decides the order, and queues only decisions needing a human into a self-made Orca panel.
Why it matters
The agent handles handoffs and records, so his main work is answering queued items with a number and a word, and he no longer scans a task list himself.
Summaries like this, every morning.
The setup is built around one deliberate brake: the commander stops before anything touches other people's eyes. Workers' pull requests pause before being shown to other reviewers, and reviews of colleagues' PRs pause before posting, while everything up to that point runs on its own. Below that line, ordering is also delegated — people waiting on him, then near deadlines, then tasks that others depend on — which explains why no task list is browsed by hand anymore.
The panel itself is a custom Orca plugin, and each entry is laid out for speed: the decision on the first line, the facts needed below it, then the options, with deeper context left in the PR or task page. A red frame at the top surfaces workers stalled on command permission, which otherwise stay silent. Requests arrive from several directions — review comments tagged N1, N2 so he only picks which to post, and recommendations attached to policy questions — so the exchange with the commander has narrowed mostly to numbers and one-word replies. The reserved connection to a disaster-prevention firm, Rescue-Nau, appears only as the blog's publisher, not as part of the workflow itself.
