Epistemics, orchestration, and ventures

Jun to Aug 2026

Agents that reason about truth, a chief-of-staff layer, and real business bets.

2026-07-30 photodropA phone-to-laptop photo drop utility. +

PurposeMoves photos from a phone straight into the laptop workflow with one step, killing a small daily friction.

StackPython

NotableSmall and sharp. The kind of friction-remover that quietly makes everything else faster.

2026-07-26 Mav 102 commitsThe company brain for a real logistics business. +

PurposeThe single source of truth and operating brain for Maverick Logistics LLC, a diesel-fuel delivery carrier in Salem, South Carolina. Designed to grow from a knowledge base into an autonomous operating agent for the business.

StackPython · agent / data / deploy architecture · headed for a standalone Hetzner deployment

NotableNot a toy. A real company's operating brain, 102 commits deep, built to run on its own server.

2026-07-26 fix-keyboardA one-click fix for a garbled Android keyboard. +

PurposeWhen an Android phone starts forcing gibberish into every message (you type "lamb", it types "lambbgfg"), this resets the keyboard's corrupted memory and clears it up in about a minute.

StackAndroid ADB · shell tooling

NotableThe range in one repo: from a twelve-agent fleet down to fixing a phone over a USB debug cable.

2026-07-22 the staffed company 5 agentsA roster of specialized agents, brought under version control in one pass. +

PurposeA coordinated "company" of purpose-built agents, each with its own lane, personality, and playbook: Czar (business development and outreach), Quill (writing), Parallax (the epistemic layer, credence and prediction), Jethro (job search), and Tutor (learning).

StackPython · JayBrain memory · shared Pulse / NATS coordination

NotableNot one big AI, a division of labor. Specialists that hand work to each other under a human gate.

2026-07-17 GIDEON chief of staff · 54 commitsA proactive chief-of-staff agent that runs triage across everything. +

PurposeA proactive, never-command agent that studies all the repos, goals, and working style, asks questions, learns continuously, and runs constantly-shifting triage to surface the single most important task first, under strict security discipline.

StackPython · engine / laptop / ops split · JayBrain memory

NotableAn orchestrator for the orchestrators. (The agent that built this website, CAIRN, is one of GIDEON's domain subagents.)

2026-07-16 dayz-hub web appA private, synced command center for two friends playing DayZ. +

PurposeAn iZurvive-style interactive Chernarus map you can annotate with your own bases, stashes, death spots, and loot runs, synced live between two players. Built to grow into kill logs, a war journal, and loadouts.

StackNext.js · React · Leaflet (interactive maps) · Supabase (sync + auth)

NotableReal-time two-player state sync on a custom Leaflet map. A full-stack app that happens to be about a video game.

2026-07-12 Charlie epistemicsA 24/7 truth-seeking research fleet, priced to run cheap. +

PurposeA round-the-clock research fleet built to check claims, not just generate them. Cheap models do the high-volume scanning; a Claude reasoning layer judges only the hard cases; the human keeps the final say.

StackPython · DeepSeek via OpenRouter (volume) · Claude (reasoning tier) · trafilatura · persistent memory

NotableCost-tiered by design: pennies on the reading, judgment only where it matters. Verification over generation.

2026-07-04 plantvibes web app / PWAA plant-care app that flags problems before you'd think to ask. +

PurposeSnap a photo to identify a plant, get a weather-aware watering schedule, and let a proactive intelligence layer surface problems early. Built as an installable PWA, designed to grow into a social and marketplace platform.

StackNext.js · React · Supabase · Konva (canvas) · Anthropic SDK

NotablePhoto identification plus weather-aware logic plus a proactive layer, a real product, not a to-do list with a plant theme.

The fleet and the infrastructure

Apr to May 2026

Agents that talk to each other, and the servers that run them.

2026-05-10 Dossier investigativeResearch and publishing infrastructure for an investigative venture. +

PurposeThe evidence backbone for investigative journalism and publishing. A service (in the same category as JayBrain, not an agent): the research agents call into it to store entities, sources, claims, and citations.

StackPython · MCP server (dossier_mcp) · SQLite store · ingestion pipelines

NotableSchema design and evidence modeling for reporting on third parties. The foundation under a Bellingcat-style publishing play.

2026-05-08 NOVAThe portfolio orchestrator that coordinates the whole fleet. +

PurposeA task dispatcher with a registry and audit logging that hands work across the agent fleet and keeps a record of who did what.

StackPython · dispatcher / registry / audit-log architecture

NotableThe piece that turns a pile of separate agents into one coordinated system.

2026-05-02 aegis-voice 31 commitsA voice-controlled command AI, cloud-hosted. +

PurposeA real-time, voice-driven Central Command interface, single-tenant and cloud-only, wired to a mission-control dashboard.

StackHetzner CX42 · LiveKit OSS + LiveKit Agents (Anthropic plugin) · Kokoro TTS · Next.js dashboard · Caddy (TLS) · Tailscale

NotableA self-hosted real-time voice stack, open-source LiveKit and local TTS instead of a paid API, on its own server at spirality.dev.

2026-04-23 podcatcherA podcast ingestion and transcript pipeline. +

PurposePolls podcast RSS feeds, fetches and classifies episodes, and runs tiered transcript orchestration, feeding the downstream research stack (Parallax, Quill, Dossier). Uses Siphon to fetch and extract, persists to Dossier.

StackPython · feedparser (RSS) · httpx · Siphon · Dossier

NotableA real ETL pipeline with daily polling and tiered transcript handling, one clean stage in a larger research machine.

2026-04-19 aegis infra · 170 commitsThe operations-manager meta-agent that watches everything. +

PurposeNamed for the shield of Athena: it protects, it does not build. Aegis watches the whole ecosystem, catches failures before they cascade, monitors resource limits, and oversees the agent fleet so the rest can keep running.

StackPython · Hetzner cloud · browser automation · monitoring / ops tooling

NotableThe always-on backbone. 170 commits of the unglamorous reliability layer that lets a one-person fleet run unattended.

The foundations

Feb to Mar 2026

The systems everything else stands on.

2026-03-24 Elmer most-worked · 450 commitsThe Ellsworth knowledge graph: the source-of-truth brain for a service business. +

PurposeA production knowledge-management system for the Ellsworth service business, built on a three-tier architecture: a Salesforce mirror (Tier 1), a canonical markdown vault (Tier 2), and downstream consumers including dashboards and equipment tracking (Tier 3). Runs on a live server.

StackPython · simple-salesforce · spaCy + sentence-transformers (NLP) · Streamlit + Plotly (dashboards) · pandas · markitdown

NotableBuilt over 12 weeks and 4 phases. 450 commits, the most-worked repository in the whole portfolio, and it runs a real business.

2026-03-24 the fleet migration 8+ projects, one dayA wave of legacy tools formalized under version control in a single day. +

PurposeTook a sprawl of working-but-unmanaged sub-agents and tools and brought them under version control at once: kai (scheduling and coaching), echo, sieve (content and transcript extraction), watchtower (monitoring), youtube-transcriber, signalforge, successforge, and kit.

StackPython · Git · per-project repos migrated from a home-level monolith

NotableThe discipline of knowing when to stop hacking and formalize. A one-day cleanup that turned chaos into a managed portfolio.

2026-03-19 ellsworth-survey work tool · 56 commitsAn equipment-survey PWA built for a real job. +

PurposeA field-ready equipment survey app for the Ellsworth job, installable to a phone and usable on site. 51 tracked files. The direct precursor to Elmer.

StackJavaScript PWA · Office Scripts · HTML / CSS · client-side

NotableA real tool for a real operational problem, the first version of what became a 450-commit business system.

2026-02-27 claude-courseA 27-module curriculum for mastering Claude Code. +

PurposeA production-grade curriculum for achieving complete mastery of Claude Code: 27 modules across 5 tiers, with a "vibe coding first" approach and a 95 percent mastery target.

StackStructured Markdown curriculum · progress tracking

NotableYou do not write a 27-module course on a tool you only half understand.

2026-02-21 sigma-detection-rules securityCustom threat-detection rules, validated against real attacks. +

PurposeCustom Sigma detection rules developed and tested in a Windows Active Directory homelab, each validated against real attack simulations with Splunk Enterprise as the SIEM.

StackSigma · Splunk Enterprise (Docker) · Windows Server 2022 AD · MITRE ATT&CK mapping

NotableIncludes a Kerberoasting RC4 TGS detection (ATT&CK T1558.003) written from an actual attack run, not copied from a template.

2026-02-09 JayBrain flagship · 227 commitsA personal AI memory system, built from scratch. +

PurposeAn MCP server that gives Claude persistent memory, user profiling, task tracking, spaced-repetition learning, and cross-session continuity, the memory layer behind the entire fleet.

StackPython · FastMCP · SQLite + sqlite-vec · ONNX embeddings (local) · Pydantic · NumPy

NotableHybrid vector-plus-keyword search with locally-run embeddings, no cloud vector database. People pay a monthly fee for a worse version. 227 commits.

The early tools

2025 into early 2026

The roots. The tools everything after was built on top of.

2026-01-20 homelab securityA full Active Directory security lab. +

PurposeA Windows Active Directory lab (Server 2022, lab.local) with Splunk as the SIEM, built to simulate real attacks and write detections against them. The environment behind the sigma-detection-rules work.

StackWindows Server 2022 AD · Splunk Enterprise (Docker) · Sysmon · Sigma

NotableReal blue-team infrastructure, attack simulation and detection, not a tutorial follow-along.

2025-08-21 scraperA decision-driven web scraping framework. +

PurposeA comprehensive scraping framework that automatically picks the optimal strategy per site: a fast decision tree routes each target between plain HTTP, a full Playwright browser, or a browser extension, based on the site's characteristics.

StackPython · httpx / aiohttp · selectolax / lxml · Playwright · Selenium · extruct

NotableThe interesting part is the decision engine, it classifies a site and routes to the cheapest method that will actually work.

2025-08-12 siphonThe first stone: an async web scraping and extraction pipeline. +

PurposeCrawls a site and extracts text, images, and structured data (JSON-LD, Microdata, RDFa, OpenGraph), with optional headless-browser rendering for JS-heavy pages. Still the canonical fetch-and-extract layer behind newer tools today.

StackPython · httpx (HTTP/2) · BeautifulSoup + lxml · Patchright + Camoufox (stealth rendering) · curl_cffi

NotableThe earliest project on record, and it still ships work. Stealth rendering means it handles bot-guarded and JS-heavy sites, not just static HTML.

What it all proves

Not titles. Demonstrated skill.

Two doors, one builder.
