Current quests

The few threads receiving most of my attention. This is a snapshot, not a roadmap or a promise of progress.

  1. 01Practice

    Leading without leaving the craft

    Helping teams turn ambiguity into clear systems while staying close to architecture, tools, incidents, and the code itself.

  4. 04Research

    Magicite

    Experimental v0.3.1 · Local skill registry · MCP server

    Testing how compact capabilities can stay useful, inspectable, and governed while their shape is still being discovered.

  5. 05Research

    Crystalium

    Released v2.2.0 · Shared memory · MCP server

    Exploring how specialist agents can carry useful memory across sessions without weakening provenance, trust boundaries, or deliberate forgetting.

    A local-first memory substrate where Eidolons preserve, retrieve, consolidate, and deliberately forget context.
