Using Amp

The docs explain what Amp does. This section is about how we use it: how we get a codebase ready for orbs, how we work with agents through the day, and what each of us still does by hand. There is a profile of everyone on the team, screencasts and unedited recordings of us at work, and guides.

How We Use Amp

Everyone on the team gets the same 10 questions: where they talk to Amp, which mode they reach for, how they use Orbs and Puck, how they review changes, prompts they keep reusing, and what they still do by hand. The faces are the team: hover or tap one for a taste of their answers, and open it for the whole profile. The orb takes you to The Amp Way, the practices the whole team shares.

Read The Amp Way → Practices and principles the whole team shares, and why.

Time Capsules

Unedited recordings of someone on the team working with Amp, with chapters and a transcript. Newest first.

Highlight How Thorsten Ball Uses Amp Thorsten shares the talk he gave at a customer visit on how he works with agents in October 2026: prompt the what, not the how, never wait for your agents, review only the load-bearing code, and ask for irrefutable proof. Then he shows the Amp team building Amp in orbs with no local dev, and follows an out-of-memory bug report to a fix tested in production behind a feature flag.
