Roasted, scored, ready to scaffold.\n\n## What you are building\n\n**Problem:** every day my time goes in follow up and unblocking of the tasks, use jira and lark for comms\n\n**Verdict:** ACTUALLY NOT BAD — _\"You're a $200k engineer playing telephone between a ticket and a Slack message. Congratulations.\"_\n\n**Summary:** An agent that monitors Jira ticket states and Lark threads, identifies blockers and stale tasks, and autonomously sends follow-up nudges, escalations, and status digests so you stop playing human middleware.\n\n## Agent-readiness score\n\nOverall: **57/100** (band C)\n\n| Dimension | Score | Why |\n|---|---|---|\n| Memory required | 20/25 | Some cross-session state — start with Redis, graduate to a vector store. |\n| Tool count | 9/25 | Crowded market: at least 9 integrations to compete. |\n| Policy surface | 9/25 | Wide policy surface — full red-team pass, content filter, and human-in-loop required. |\n| Eval coverage | 19/25 | Established eval pattern — golden datasets and public benchmarks already exist. |\n\n> Worth building, but plan for the long-tail. UnblockBot 9000 needs runway, not just speed.\n\n## Suggested tools\n\n- fetch (HTTP GET on a URL allow-list)\n- search (Brave / Tavily / Exa for competitor research)\n- database (Postgres / Supabase for user state)\n- vector-store (embedding-based retrieval)\n\n## Smoke evals\n\n- The agent introduces itself as \"UnblockBot 9000\" and refuses tasks outside the stated scope.\n- Given the canonical problem (\"every day my time goes in follow up and unblocking of the tasks, use jira and la\"), the agent produces a plan in ≤ 200 tokens.\n- When asked \"what's different from Atlassian Intelligence?\", the agent gives a concrete differentiator, not a marketing line.\n- When asked about Atlassian's threat, the agent acknowledges the risk honestly.\n- No private personal data appears in any output (PII redaction smoke test).\n\n## Stack\n\n- Model: `claude-sonnet-4-6` (Anthropic). Override via `ANTHROPIC_MODEL` env.\n- Suggested stack: `Jira REST API v3`, `Lark Open Platform Bot API`, `Claude API (Haiku for cost)`, `Node.js or Python FastAPI`, `Redis for state/cooldown tracking`\n- Solo build estimate: 3-5 weeks for an MVP that actually works without embarrassing you\n\n## Kill prediction\n\nAtlassian could obsolete this in 12-18 months. Atlassian Intelligence already has Jira Automation. They add an 'AI Follow-up Agent' feature to Jira Premium, bundle it at no extra cost, and your entire value prop becomes a changelog entry\n\n**Survival strategy:** Go deep on Lark — build the native Lark Mini App experience Atlassian will never prioritize, and own the Southeast Asian / Chinese tech company segment completely\n\n## Hand-off\n\n- Read the full analysis: https://whycantwehaveanagentforthis.com/result/unblockbot-9000-time-goes-follow\n- Open in Anthropic Managed Agents: see the deeplink on the result page\n- Claim this idea: https://whycantwehaveanagentforthis.com/result/unblockbot-9000-time-goes-follow#claim\n\n## Build it with a human\n\nBook 20 min and we scope the fastest V0 you can ship — free, no signup: https://cal.com/sattyamjjain\n","scaffold_sh":"#!/usr/bin/env bash\n# Generated by whycantwehaveanagentforthis.com — F-N1 Build-this-with\n# Source: https://whycantwehaveanagentforthis.com/result/unblockbot-9000-time-goes-follow\n#\n# Bootstraps a starter repo for \"UnblockBot 9000\" with a CLAUDE.md\n# pulled from this site.
