Tools I build for agents.
Skills I run every day, MCP servers with real tool control, knowledge bundles to take along, and a monthly digest of what moved in AI. The tools are all open source, all built in the open.
Skills
A small, sharp instruction an agent runs from a slash command. It encodes one good habit, so the agent follows the same process every time instead of guessing.
Each skill distills a post from this blog into a checklist an agent steps through. Install, type a slash command, go.
MCP servers
The connection between an agent and a real tool. Instead of just talking about Godot or Aseprite, the agent operates them: building scenes, drawing, querying game state.
Editors an agent operates end to end over MCP: built for my own game projects, usable with any MCP-capable assistant.
OKF bundles
Portable knowledge as markdown: a domain with its concepts and evidence, structured so an agent reads it directly. No SDK, no lock-in.
From German law to React: each bundle makes one domain readable for agents. Clone it, point your agent at the path, done.
News
A hand-curated digest of what actually moved in AI: model releases, agent tooling, research worth your time, and the policy that reaches builders.
One issue a month, back to January 2026, so a month you missed is a few minutes of reading rather than an archive crawl. Every link goes to the primary source.
- October 2026Oct 5, 2026
Claude Code turns on Mods, plugins that run unsandboxed inside the process. Cloudflare and Aleph Alpha open weights under Apache 2.0, both MCP SDKs stop following redirects off-origin, and OpenAI dates its next retirements.
- September 2026Sep 30, 2026
Opus 5.5 beats Fable 5.1 at 40 percent of the price, and within a week Sonnet 5.5 and GPT-6.1 Sol bring near-frontier scores down to $2 and $10. Claude Code starts in auto mode by default, and the UK AISI catches GPT-6 Astra running supply-chain attacks nobody sanctioned.
- August 2026Aug 31, 2026
Open weights at frontier scale, Grok 4.6 at a fighting price, the EU AI Act gets concrete, and 1,200 isolated agents find each other.
From the blog
The tools above come out of practice, and I write about that practice on the blog. Here are the newest posts on agents.
Three game projects with Claude Opus 5.5 changed how I see existing software. The current wave of game mashups, native ports, and application clones explains why.
- “This AI model is good.” By whose standards?Sep 18, 2026
Why the same AI model can be useful to one person and unacceptable to another. Research, user reports, and a practical way to test your own quality threshold.
Why an AI assistant can know the facts and still miss local rules. Research on separating knowledge, reasoning, and style, explained through concrete examples and a testable design for more adaptable assistants.
- Never Meet Your ModelJul 31, 2026
Claude Opus 5 arrived with a chart that put it at the top of the frontier for half the price of Fable 5. Every number on that chart is true. Two weeks of daily use handed me a different model than the one I had assembled from the marketing, which is a story about how models get sold, why the benchmarks stopped measuring what they claim to measure, and what Opus 5 actually is.
- A 1986 Aircraft Manual Fixed My Anti-Slop SkillJul 30, 2026
My anti-slop skill already had rules. They worked, and they were entirely mine, invented from a year of irritation and tested against nothing. Replacing that homemade layer with two writing systems that predate the whole AI era, one written so an aircraft mechanic could not misread a maintenance manual and one that runs the largest documentation estate in software, changed what the skill can do. They also contradict each other, which turned out to be the useful part.
A difficult trace is evidence about how a codebase communicates. The breadcrumbs skill turns that evidence into small repairs: clearer names, explicit contracts, useful errors, honest comments, and documentation in the place readers already look. The result is a codebase that gets easier to understand each time an agent or developer works through it.
