# ThumbGate Money-Today Operator Packet

Updated: 2026-05-13 14:15 EDT

## Objective

Increase the next-24-hour odds of first ThumbGate revenue by using the warmest available buyer signal:

- PocketOS/destructive-agent-call angle.
- Existing public/social accounts connected through Zernio.
- Warm Larsen Cundric follow-up path.
- Existing buyer lead list in `docs/marketing/buyer-leads-2026-05-11.md`.

## Money Truth

- Revenue collected in this session: $0 verified.
- New qualified buyer replies in this session: 0 verified.
- Public posts published: 3 verified.
- Direct outbound sent: 0 verified.

## Public Posts Published

Post copy:

> PocketOS is the warning: postmortems are too late when an agent can run the destructive call now. ThumbGate turns a thumbs-down into a pre-action check that blocks the repeat before execution. One workflow-hardening teardown open: https://thumbgate-production.up.railway.app/#workflow-sprint-intake

Published URLs:

- Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/iganapolsky.bsky.social/post/3mlqvnyacha24
- Threads: https://www.threads.com/@igorganapolsky/post/DYSdSnRl1l9

Notes:

- Initial Zernio publish skipped Bluesky because UTM expansion pushed the copy over Bluesky's 300-character limit.
- A shorter Bluesky-safe version was published separately.
- Zernio analytics readback is blocked by Zernio's analytics add-on paywall. No spend authorized, so engagement cannot be read through Zernio analytics in this session.

## Direct Outbound Status

### Larsen Cundric

Target evidence:

- Public site lists Larsen Cundric as a Browser Use founding engineer and provides `larsen@browser-use.com`.
- Fit: agent infrastructure, Browser Use, PocketOS/destructive-agent-call prevention angle.

Draft sent attempt:

Subject: `15-min look at preventing repeat agent tool-call mistakes?`

Body:

```text
Hi Larsen,

You have been writing/building around agent infrastructure at Browser Use, and the PocketOS failure mode is exactly the class of problem I am working on with ThumbGate.

The narrow idea: turn a thumbs-down on a bad agent action into a PreToolUse check that blocks the repeat before the next tool call executes. Not another memory note; an execution gate.

Would it be worth a 15-minute look at one Browser Use or side-project workflow where repeat tool-call mistakes, unsafe actions, or weak approval boundaries still show up?

If there is no fit, no worries.

Result:

- Not sent.
- Gmail SMTP rejected the stored app password with `535 BadCredentials`.
- Do not mark Larsen contacted until a working send channel is used.

### Buyer Leads List

Source:

- `docs/marketing/buyer-leads-2026-05-11.md`

Status:

- Not contacted in this session.
- The file explicitly says: "CEO sends manually - no auto-posting."
- Do not auto-comment on GitHub issues from this agent without explicit override, because those public replies materially affect founder reputation.

Fastest manual send order:

1. `mstHex` - Claude fabricated content instead of asking for clarification.
2. `calebthecm` - agent suggested destructive commands without safety warnings.
3. `domattioli` - Claude repeatedly renamed branches before push.
4. `kevin-nous` - MCP failures plus destructive file deletion.
5. `coreintentdev` - multiple hallucination incidents in one tracker.

## Channel Constraints Found

- Reddit API credentials: not present in loaded env files.
- LinkedIn direct publisher: no connected Zernio LinkedIn account found in account list.
- Zernio connected accounts found: Bluesky, Instagram, Reddit, Threads, Twitter, YouTube. (X/Twitter is retired from active distribution; do not treat this as an active channel.)
- Reddit via Zernio is connected, but the existing high-quality r/programming/r/devops post requires subreddit/title handling; current safe publisher path does not prove it can post to those communities correctly.
- Gmail credentials: present but rejected by Gmail SMTP.

## Next Bottleneck

The highest-leverage bottleneck is now direct buyer contact, not more broadcast posts.

Needed to unlock it:

- Fix Gmail app password or provide a working sending account.
- Or explicitly approve manual/public GitHub issue replies to the 16 lead-list issues.
- Or provide Reddit credentials / confirm Zernio Reddit subreddit-posting semantics for `r/programming` and `r/devops`.

## Next Action

When a working send channel is available, send a 5-message test batch only:

1. Larsen Cundric warm email/DM.
2. `mstHex`.
3. `calebthecm`.
4. `domattioli`.
5. `kevin-nous`.

Success metric:

- One reply, teardown request, repro shared, checkout start, or paid workflow-hardening diagnostic.
