He said his agent reads his email, Dropbox, Apple Notes and therapy notes going back 20 years, and he has published 23 Claude Code skills called gstack on GitHub. Tan, described as an early OpenClaw adopter, argued against treating agents like traditional software because overemphasizing repeatability and safety can trade away useful behavior. Why: For anyone shipping agent workflows, this is a concrete cost and permissions datapoint: heavy use can mean six-figure annual token spend, and Tan’s setup depends on broad access to personal data. Decide your token budget and which data sources agents may read before copying the pattern; the gstack repo is the immediately inspectable artifact.
