• Give an agent the scary work only behind a gate it cannot fake — tests, builds, reproducible checks.

  • Prefer many small verified steps over one large unverified change.

  • Keep an honest ledger of what was and was not covered.

  1. My first build with 5.6 sol

    What happened when I used 5.6 sol to audit AppHeat, coordinate parallel fixes, dogfood the result, and build a deterministic audit framework.

  2. Day 3 with Fable: Announcing the Autonomy Alpha

    The Autonomy alpha is live — a native macOS app and local MCP server that lets AI agents work through your real accessibility setup — plus the day-three build-log of shipping it with Claude Fable 5.

  3. I Built an AEO Agent Workflow. Google Made Me a Skeptic.

    A field note from setting up a local Pi workflow with OpenRouter agents to research AEO topical authority. The real surprise was not any agent tactic — it was what Google's own guidance actually says.

  4. What I got done with Fable that kept slipping before

    A field note on handing a large Rust refactor to Fable: knowledge-graph analysis, a full graph rebuild that survived a mid-run failure, and a 9,859-line file cut to 877 across six verified commits.
