Compute
The engine layer of the Captain's Flywheel. AI models, agents, MCPs, deployed services — the crew that moves work under the captain's command.
Definition
Compute is the engine. The crew. Where Command writes the brief, Compute executes it.
Compute encompasses every machine doing work for the captain: Claude and other LLMs, Claude Code and other AI coding agents, Cloudflare Workers running scheduled jobs, MCPs giving the AI access to your tools, hosted services, deployed scripts.
Compute is organized into Stacks — bundles of tools that solve a specific class of problem. The Cloudflare Edge Stack, the Content Production Stack, the MCP Stack. Stacks are how Compute becomes legible.
