Writing

Working notes on keeping agent-built software honest — the bet, graded against the code.

In agent-built software, the open problem is the seams between the pieces

An agent can write the filesystem layer now. The process spawner and tool adapters, the CLI — all of it. What it can't do yet, what nobody has really solved, is keep all of those h

Colors Are Coordinates

We pulled every color off a website — 42 of them, straight out of the rendered page — and asked a question that sounds naive: how many colors are there, really?

Provenance is not legitimacy

A signed build tells you who produced an artifact and that the bytes are intact. It does not tell you the build was meant to happen. That gap is small, easy to oversell, and the en

Trust lives outside the page

A badge a page renders is a claim the page controls. A verifier a page ships is also a claim the page controls — if the bytes can lie, the script that checks them can lie too. So t

Author a verb once. Get the CLI, the MCP tool, the OpenAPI route, and the model schema for free.

Ship one capability to both humans and agents today and you write it four times: a CLI with flag parsing and --help, an MCP tool definition, an OpenAPI operation, and a tool-use sc

Why I built this: my coding agent kept doing things I didn't ask for

I run an AI coding agent on my own work every day. It writes code, runs commands, and opens pull requests. It earns its place — and it has a habit I got tired of: left alone, it wa
