DEVELOPMENT

Your satellite, your dev team's shared workspace

Your CRHQ satellite doubles as a development environment — agents work on their own branches, collaborate on code, push changes, and manage deployments. Like having additional developers on your VPS, working 24/7.

What you get

Multi-project management

10+ projects managed on a single satellite — each with its own repo, dependencies, and deployment config, all orchestrated by agents.

Agent as team member

Agents work on branches, push code, create PRs, and collaborate like real developers — following your project's conventions and standards.

Automated maintenance

Dependency updates, security patches, and cleanup tasks handled automatically — keeping your projects healthy without manual intervention.

Health monitoring

Disk usage, memory consumption, and process health tracked across all projects — issues flagged before they become outages.

Deployment pipeline

Agents can deploy to staging or production on command — running build steps, verifying health checks, and rolling back if something goes wrong.

Done by an agent. Zero human effort.

Schedule it daily or trigger it on demand. The agent checks every project on your satellite, updates dependencies, runs tests, monitors resources, and posts a full health report — so your dev environment stays clean without you lifting a finger.

HOW TO SET IT UP

For CRHQ clients

1

Enable the required skills

Make sure these skills are active on your satellite:

2

Tell the agent to check your environment

Example prompt:

"Check the status of all projects on our satellite. List active projects, check git status across repos, update dependencies, run test suites, verify PM2 processes are healthy, and report disk and memory usage. Post the full environment health report to #devops on Slack."
3

Schedule daily health checks (recommended)

Use the schedule skill to run environment checks every morning. Your team starts the day knowing exactly which projects need attention, which dependencies are outdated, and whether any processes have gone unhealthy overnight.

ADVANCED TIPS

Get more out of this workflow

Use deploy-dev-environment skill for initializing new projects

When you need to spin up a new project on your satellite, the deploy-dev-environment skill handles the full setup — cloning the repo, installing dependencies, configuring environment variables, setting up PM2 processes, and verifying everything runs correctly.

deploy-dev-environment

Delegate project-specific tasks to specialized sub-agents

Use the delegation skill to spin up sub-agents for individual projects. One agent handles the React frontend, another manages the API server, and a third monitors the database — all coordinated by a lead agent that compiles results into a single report.

delegation

Combine with code review for automated PR quality checks

Pair your environment management workflow with automated code review. As agents push code and create PRs, other agents review the diffs for bugs, style issues, and security concerns — creating a fully automated development pipeline on your satellite.

coding-best-practices

Maintain project docs for each deployed project

Store deployment configs, environment variables, architecture notes, and runbooks in project documents for each project on your satellite. Agents reference these docs when managing deployments, troubleshooting issues, or onboarding new projects — building institutional knowledge over time.
