# Bluesky quote-post — The New Stack on Claude Code Agent View

**Target post:** https://thenewstack.io/claude-code-agent-view/
**Voice:** peer-to-peer, no marketing copy, one repo link.
**Per CLAUDE.md:** never auto-post; CEO posts via web or via the publish flow.

## Draft A (peer voice, no name-drop)

> Rob May said it cleaner than anyone has: the hard part isn't visibility, it's trust.
>
> A dashboard tells you the agent is running. It doesn't stop the agent from dropping a database.
>
> The missing layer is a pre-execution gate that learns from human thumbs-down. Different problem, different tool.
>

## Draft B (slightly more direct, mentions ThumbGate by name)

> Solid piece in @thenewstack.io on Claude Code's Agent View. Rob May's quote is the right diagnosis: *"A better dashboard doesn't make the agents more reliable. The hard part isn't visibility. It's trust."*
>
> ThumbGate's been the answer to that for months — PreToolUse gate, thumbs-down → durable prevention rule, audit trail on every interception.

## Draft C (shortest, hooks into the broader debate)

> The thing every "agent dashboard" launch is missing: a gate that actually stops the destructive call before it executes.
>
> Visibility ≠ enforcement.

## Posting path

1. Open https://bsky.app/profile/zernio.thumbgate.ai (or the connected account).
2. Click "New post."
3. Paste Draft A, B, or C. Recommended: **Draft A** (peer voice, doesn't lead with the product, lets the quote carry the weight).
4. Post.

## Why Draft A first

Draft A names Rob May without name-dropping ThumbGate. It positions Igor as a peer in the debate, not a vendor. If Rob May or anyone in his network sees it on the Bluesky algo, the response is a follow / reply, not a "they're pitching me." That earns reach. Draft B converts harder for someone who clicks through but is more obvious. Draft C is the safest if you only want to plant a stake in the ground without naming the product.

## Repost / amplify path

- After posting, search for any reply from devops, platform-eng, or AI-infra accounts → quote-reply with ThumbGate angle (Draft B variant).
- If Rob May himself engages: pin-thread the response, send him the LinkedIn DM in `buyer-list-send-ready-2026-05-14.md` #11 same day.
