Launch surface: agent-native pitch site and developer technical series #94

Description

@teckedd-code2save

Goal

Once installation/distribution is credible, rebuild the public GroundControl story around what the product actually is:

An operations control plane designed for software agents.

Do not position it as another Coolify dashboard.

Pitch site

The site should lead with real product evidence, not decorative mock graphics.

Core story:

  • connect ChatGPT/any MCP agent
  • grant scoped capabilities
  • inspect real infrastructure
  • deploy/redeploy through durable operations
  • verify outcomes independently
  • keep critical actions behind policy/human approval
  • operator terminal remains available without becoming the agent API

Use real captures/video/GIFs from:

  1. ChatGPT health inspection of RentAWeekend
  2. durable redeploy + operation ID + verification evidence
  3. OAuth workload consent
  4. Agents grant/revoke workspace
  5. connector capability health
  6. native xterm PTY
  7. exact-revision Daytona verification once accepted

Pages/sections:

  • product thesis
  • how it works
  • agent connection
  • self-host/install
  • security/autonomy model
  • integrations/capability graph
  • technical architecture
  • docs/get started
  • GitHub/open-source CTA

Developer documentation / articles

Publish technically useful material that stands on its own rather than product-flavored SEO.

Initial series:

  1. Why infrastructure agents should get capabilities, not SSH

    • threat model
    • typed tools
    • scopes/resources
    • terminal as operator fallback
  2. Building a self-hosted MCP control plane with OAuth

    • protected-resource discovery
    • PKCE
    • tool securitySchemes
    • ChatGPT compatibility lessons
    • refresh/revocation
  3. Durable infrastructure mutations for agents

    • idempotency keys
    • operation handles
    • pending/running/verifying/success/failed/uncertain
    • why uncertain must not be auto-replayed
  4. How to verify a deployment instead of saying “deploy succeeded”

    • runtime evidence
    • image identity
    • endpoint probes
    • source revision vs runtime revision
  5. Secret-safe configuration introspection for AI agents

    • configured/missing/unmanaged
    • exact-key checks
    • why masked values can still leak
  6. A real browser terminal: xterm, PTYs, SSH, and host namespaces

    • why HTTP command forms fail
    • WebSocket/PTTY architecture
    • local host bridge
  7. Connector health is a capability graph, not a green badge

    • GitHub App
    • repo grant
    • webhook
    • GHCR
    • Daytona lifecycle/exact revision
  8. Agent-assisted self-hosted installation without a permanent bootstrap secret

    • claim protocol
    • install stages
    • recovery and rollback

Quality bar

Every technical article should include:

  • concrete architecture
  • failure modes we actually encountered
  • diagrams/code snippets where useful
  • security boundaries
  • reproducible examples
  • links to relevant open-source implementation

No invented benchmarks or claims.

Start after the distribution/claim flow is implemented and tested so the site can advertise a path that actually works.
