Set up Golden Frijoles in this project. 1. Read https://goldenfrijoles.com/install.md before installing anything. 2. Tell me in a few lines what it installs, what changes on this machine and which services it contacts. Offer me a security review, and wait for my go-ahead. 3. Install it the way install.md says for the agent you are. 4. Run the setup skill from the golden-frijoles plugin.
Plant Golden Frijoles and operate across the board, grow with no limit.
The new maker loop
Golden Frijoles enables makers. It gives what you are already making somewhere to go — shared context, bounded action, real product operations. Then it keeps the evidence.
Consider whether it deserves investment.
Operate by deploying that investment through humans and agents.
Exit by deciding what the Evidence justifies.
One operating context
Identity and access, governance, security, spend — a real product needs all of it, and the usual answer is a department for each. Golden Frijoles gives a maker and their agents one set of rails across the whole surface instead, so owning the product does not mean becoming five teams.
PRODUCT OPS
Stop guessing what to build next. Connect the goal to what people actually do, and let the evidence pick the next thing worth making.
DEVOPS
Move quickly with release rails that make change observable, reversible and operable by humans and agents.
Partly gatedScheduled delivery to a destination is switched off in this deployment
SECOPS
Exercise security and resilience as part of operating the product, with bounded scenarios and evidence of what protected you.

FINOPS
Measure what each epic consumed from your own Claude Code sessions, quote the next one from that history, and see spend against the quote while you build.
Agents with somewhere to work
Your agents can investigate, propose and act. Golden Frijoles keeps the context, permissions, staged changes and evidence visible, so autonomy can expand without the product becoming a black box. Governance and control over what your agents may do, without a department to enforce it.
FinOps for agentic making
Every epic gets a quote when it is refined, calibrated from what your own shipped epics actually cost. While it is built, the build view shows spend against that quote; at close the actual is stamped into the epic, so the next quote is better. Push your usage and FinOps in the console breaks it down by epic, skill and model.
Measured, not estimated: token counts from your own sessions — never their content — priced as ≈ API $, a list-price equivalent. Claude Code only; other agents are not measured yet.
Over the quote is an alert, not a stop — we do not host your agents, so nothing is throttled on your behalf.
Next buildCost per outcome — connecting the spend to the North Star movement it bought — is the next build.
The way of working behind the product
Agents make it cheap to build something that demos well. What they do not give you is the taste to know whether it should exist, or the evidence that it held up once real people used it. The method came out of building Golden Frijoles, and the way to learn it is to use it: bring your own project, install the rails, design a Bet with your agents, build it, prove it, and find out what actually happened.
Your project. Not our demo.

Enough theory to make the next decision, then straight back to your product.

Practice earns doctrine. Reality gets the last word.
Start with one project for $0. Bring the rest of the company when they inevitably ask where you got the numbers. Nothing here locks you in — not the agent you use, and not a contract.
Humans remain unmetered.
A handful
$0
One project. Enough Golden Frijoles to find out whether we're onto something.
No credit card. We checked.
MOST PLANTED
The beanstalk
$49/mo
For products that kept growing.
There is no billing rail yet — nobody can be charged this today. It is what the tier will cost, published early so you can plan against it. Start on the free tier; we will not move you onto a paid plan without asking.
The vault
Pods
Your team, augmented with the same ways of working we use ourselves. Benchmarked before and after, because “it felt faster” isn't a Pod Report.
Twenty minutes with a human. No price until we both know the shape of it.
We meter events. Not coworkers. Per-tenant limits are set on the tenant, not by this page — raising one is a database change, never a redeploy. (multi-tenant-activation)
Your next idea does not need a department
Bring the idea. Bring your agents — whichever ones you like, now and when better ones arrive. Golden Frijoles gives you the rails to turn it into a product you can build, operate, test and grow.
