AI Explorations

Building with AI, not just designing for it.

Skills, loops, and working practices from shipping AI products — and from running my own. Everything here is in production use.

Loops that ship

Agentic engineering is design work: shaping the loop — plan, act, evaluate, revise — until the system earns trust. These are the loops and the toolchain behind everything above.

The Evolution · Git archaeology

A git archaeology of the ways of working

The operating system wasn’t designed up front — it accreted, one dated artifact at a time. Git history reconstructs the whole evolution, with quality signals computed from the commit stream.

Service-blueprint skill

Turns discovery-call transcripts into an interactive HTML service blueprint — the process steps, the systems of record behind each one, the common happy path, and where reality deviates from it.

Diagram-quality skills

Three Claude Code skills that pressure-test process diagrams — scoring completeness, decomposition, ownership, and data provenance, then separating what the artifact shows from what a human must verify against reality.

## Scoring rule

Rate each dimension 1–4:
  1 Absent · 2 Partial · 3 Solid · 4 Strong

- No score without evidence. Cite the
  box numbers or edges for every rating.
- When evidence is mixed, score down.
