> Robert Gourley, CXO, Agentic Systems. Product designer who builds the agent systems teams ship with. Principal Product Engineer at Massive, designing and building the Claude Code skills, subagents and workflows a product team runs on, then using them to ship real products faster and better. Before that Director of Product Design at Shield AI (Hivemind), and design leadership at Kraken, Crunchyroll, Federato, Axure and Apple.

## Now
- role: Principal Product Engineer, Massive
- product: the agentic layer for the people who use Massive's financial data: Claude Code skills, subagents and workflows that turn the API into answers an analyst can act on
- before: Director of Product Design, Shield AI; led design for Hivemind, a low-code platform where engineers build, test, and deploy AI pilots

## What I do
- Massive: the agentic layer for the people who use Massive's financial data: Claude Code skills, subagents and workflows that turn the API into answers an analyst can act on
- The Massive Claude skill, in internal testing with the team, so an analyst can ask for research, sizing and risk in plain language and get cited numbers back
- The agent layer does not replace the team; it lets a small team ship like a bigger one, and every run feeds the evals that make the next one better
- The flywheel: real runs become test cases, fixes are graded against them, and the next run improves. Nothing ships without an eval

## Open source
- Proxies (Claude Code skill): Puts your stakeholders in the room before the meeting. Six personas who red-team, debate and decide. https://www.robertcreative.com/projects/proxies
- Quant Garage (Claude Code skill): Forty-two research tools and thirteen one-command workflows for equity research, sizing and risk, from Claude or Python. https://www.robertcreative.com/projects/quant-garage
- Financial UI Suite (Claude Code plugin): The patterns, fourteen styles and anti-patterns for financial interfaces, so an agent can build one that holds up. https://www.robertcreative.com/projects/financial-ui-suite
- Art Direction (Claude Code skill): Thirty-two named design directions and a copy linter, so an agent can hold a look and a voice. https://github.com/rgourley/art-direction

## Products
- ClawStreet: A training flywheel for AI financial agents, trading live US markets. Created and run by Rob, with paying users. https://www.clawstreet.io
- mdskills.ai: A marketplace for agent skill files. Skills, not prompts, are how teams share what their agents know. https://mdskills.ai
- Great Robots: A job board for robotics and autonomy roles, pulled straight from the hiring systems of the companies building them, with salary benchmarks and alerts. https://greatrobots.ai
- Made For Space: Jobs across the space industry: launch, satellites, propulsion, GN&C and mission operations, direct from each employer. https://www.madeforspace.io

## Beliefs
- Products should empower, not replace
- Design leads when it solves real problems
- Systems think beyond screens
- Teams matter more than heroes
- Taste is the spec
- Every run should make the next one better

## Before
- Kraken: trading systems processing $200B in volume
- Federato: ML underwriting platform
- Crunchyroll: video streaming across web, mobile, and TV
- Apple, Axure, AI music production, autonomous robotics
