Worked great for me. Think about integrating the /counselors skill so you can fan out complex questions to multiple hq models across Opus, Gemini, and Codex. We're using it to do extensive design/performance/SEO audits that benefit from multiple smart opinions.

Andres from the P0 team here. I worked on that part, glad it worked well for you.

You can use any skill you’d normally add to Claude Code locally, so /counselors should work as well.

Compared to Claude Code etc where do the time savings come from? Fewer PRs that need manual intervention? Higher quality code base to maintain later?

1 - Less "chat as you go" interactions with the agents meaning you don't have to babysit the execution, because once the requirements are defined, the harness executes autonomously.

2 - Conceptually stronger starting point leads to better (and larger) feature PRs. Because we help you generate a really strong spec (prod/tech) upfront, grounded across your repos, that changes the process from "build-and-fix-and-build-and-fix" to "define-and-ship".

And we also help you generate strong standards definitions (teach agents how to build things, how to test things) that foundation helps as well.

Do y'all automatically feed information back into the spec and refine that over time?

hey, this is Christian, one of the builders of p0.

Think of the specs more as feature-specific documents. Like a very well-defined epic or ticket. But the "standards" codebase documentation is kept fresh at all times automatically and agents always reference that.

Standards generation is great. I really like that approach. It feels much better than relying on just a single CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md. Does this work with Claude subscriptions like Max?

Yes, it works with subscription or API key. We use it with Max 20x. But in full disclosure, I do not know what plans the Anthropic team has, and they've been sending mixed messages. We'll start adding support for other providers/models as well.

A single markdown file will definitely reach its limits very quickly. We also try our best to provide templates for the standards for the agent to follow in the initial code review and interview with you to make those cover all the basics. Obviously this isn't proprietary to us, just works really well in our opinion.
