- 2 monthly
Every plan, Free included, opens the repo and an install prompt built for the employees you pick.
What the Web Dev Employee does
A website creates a steady queue of maintenance: broken routes, production errors, dependency updates and small improvements. The Web Dev Employee checks the projects you name, groups errors into incidents, and works one ready fix at a time.
Its output is a reviewable change with validation and a rollback path. Weekly maintenance and monthly inventory reviews keep the queue connected to the systems you actually run, while the report distinguishes a prepared fix from a change that has merged.
Best fit: Founders maintaining shipped products, small teams with recurring site issues, and providers responsible for client website maintenance.
The work you can review
- Dated site checks and grouped production incidents
- Small fixes prepared on branches for review
- Dependency and platform inventory reviews
- Reports linking changes to validation and merge evidence
How the work moves
An illustrative workflow for the fix runner routine.
- 01
Checking every page on your site
Errors and broken forms spotted

Small change, your project rules followed

Testing the fix

Writing it up for you
Branch link and a one line undo
Your control: The shipped setup holds merges and deployments until you release them. Platform checks are read only, and a passing local check alone is not proof that the affected public page works.
The 8 scheduled routines
The cadence is part of the role. Each routine owns a defined piece of work.
Standup
WeekdaysResolves which drafted changes merged by reading the commit graph, closes and reopens incidents on that evidence, and writes the morning brief.
Site sweep
WeekdaysChecks every declared path from the outside, records one dated observation per project, then groups every new production error into a fingerprint.
Fix runner
WeekdaysTurns the card the standup marked next into a reviewable change on a branch, behind that project's own gate, with a rollback line attached.
Platform guard
WeeklyConfirms the registrar, the host, and the hosted database still match the inventory, read only, and names every drift with both values.
Dependency run
WeeklyWorks dependency and supply chain debt one project at a time, bumping the patch and lockfile class on a branch and holding the rest with evidence.
Weekly report
WeeklyScores the week from the ledgers with a source path beside every number, and replays every learned browser flow once, read only.
Inventory refresh
MonthlyFirst run is the whole setup: it discovers what you actually run, writes the inventory and the opening policy, and registers the schedule.
Guardrail review
MonthlyRewrites what the fix runner may change unsupervised, from a month of real merge outcomes. Widening waits for a streak; narrowing is immediate.
Set up the first week
Confirm the repositories, hosts and routes in scope. Review the first fix and its validation, define the protected branches, and keep merge and deploy permissions narrow while you establish the standard.
Choose the role in the Club install prompt builder, extract the kit to a local folder, and ask your agent to install it. The setup guide explains local and cloud harnesses. Your first week is supervision: inspect the output and correct the standard before widening permissions.
Accounts and connections
Connect only the services you use and the installed kit requires. These reference guides explain the available connectors; access and costs depend on your accounts.

Will the Web Dev Employee deploy every fix automatically?
No. It prepares reviewable branch changes. Merges and deployments remain held until you explicitly release them in the installed kit.
Is this a replacement for a full product engineering team?
Its defined role is site health, maintenance and small changes within your guardrails. Larger product work still needs its own scope, design and review process.
Is the Web Dev Employee open source?
Yes. This role is released under the MIT license. Every Club plan, Free included, opens the repository and the install prompt builder. Your AI agent subscription and any connected service costs are separate.
