AI systems for one-person businesses.
I build, run, and publish the systems. You can steal the useful parts.
Ship Lean turns real product work, workflows, and build logs into n8n AI agents, workflow pages, free tools, AEO content, newsletters, and short-form assets that compound.

Choose your constraint
Start where the problem is already hot.
This is the main router for social and search visitors. Nobody has to guess where to click.
Start n8n agents
Learn the Ship Lean split: Claude Code or Codex builds, n8n runs, and a human approves risky actions.
Use a free tool
Score the workflow, estimate the payoff, or plan the Claude Code + n8n handoff.
Steal AI systems
Claude Code skills, prompts, agents, and workflows from inside Ship Lean, packaged as free starters.
Copy a workflow
Turn build logs, videos, demos, and messy operations into repeatable systems.
Grab a starter system
Get the useful public version of the prompts, skills, and workflows mentioned in the videos.
Work with me
Record once. I turn it into a week of Shorts, LinkedIn, X, and a newsletter draft. Scheduled in your voice.
Operator in public
Built by Chris. Packaged as Ship Lean.
This is a personal brand, just not a biography site. The face matters because the systems come from real work, real constraints, and public receipts.
I build Claude Code, n8n, content, and research systems for one-person AI businesses, then publish the useful parts as Ship Lean.
Open AI Systems ->The system desk
Proof becomes pages. Pages become leverage.
The site is built around one loop: capture real work, route it into useful assets, and publish with enough receipts that Marcus trusts the system.

Recent field notes from the build.
n8n AI Agent vs Zapier AI Actions
n8n AI agents and Zapier AI Actions both automate work with AI, but they fit different builders. Compare agent depth, simplicity, hosting, and control.
Read -> NOTE_02.MDAI Coding Agent vs Workflow Automation
AI coding agents and workflow automation tools are both useful, but they should not do the same job. Here's the Ship Lean split.
Read -> NOTE_03.MDCodex vs n8n: Which One Should Run Your AI Workflow?
Codex and n8n solve different jobs. Use Codex for repo-aware building and judgment. Use n8n for triggers, credentials, retries, and repeatable runs.

Weekly field notes for builders turning product work into distribution. No generic AI news. Just systems, prompts, workflows, and receipts.
