Can You SEO Your Way Into an AI Agent's Recommendation?
I ran 5,580 trials to see whether rigging an agent's web search could push it toward Google Cloud. It got mentioned a lot more. It didn't get picked much more....
Read More →Apple Containers: A Few Tools I've Been Building
Apple's container CLI runs OCI containers natively on Apple Silicon with no daemon and no Docker Desktop. I've been building tools around it: an MCP server, a Docker command translator,...

Patching a hole in my agent's review process pulled a thread: the fix needed memory, the memory got too specific, and cleaning that up taught the system where knowledge belongs....

I'd been using Hermes to write code. Then I pointed it at my house: one always-on agent for mail, meals, trips, and bills -- and the guardrails that let us...
Read More →Part 6: The Autonomy Ladder
Every external action runs through an autonomy gate with three settings -- gated, push-draft, and full -- so the coordinator does as much as I trust it to and no...
Read More →Part 5: GitHub Issues as the Agent's Backlog
I made GitHub Issues the agent's backlog -- the coordinator creates structured issues from raw ideas, triages overnight, and grooms the backlog weekly, all behind an opt-in gate.

The moment you let an agent inject code it didn't write, you need a system that answers one question: is this safe to run? Four scripts, one pipeline, zero trust...
Read More →Part 3: Dynamic Tool Discovery and Injection
The coordinator now discovers and injects task-specific skills from trusted external sources at dispatch time -- so the coding engine gets exactly the domain knowledge it needs, not a blob...
Read More →Part 2: One Coordinator, Swappable Coding Engines
I pulled the coding engine out into a swappable layer so the coordinator can dispatch to Antigravity, Claude Code, OpenCode, or a local model running on my machine — same...

I took a 2019 MacBook Pro that was collecting dust and turned it into an autonomous coding coordinator. It plans before it codes, delegates to a separate AI for implementation,...
