ways of working_

Real working sessions with an AI agent, published as teaching demos. Verbatim messages, real production systems, honest failures — the method, not a highlight reel.

demo 03 · 2026-07 Taught Once, Enforced Forever Corrections given in chat decay when the session ends. The fix is changing the agent's environment — helpers, deny-hooks, and CI ratchets that carry the rule forever. forAnyone tired of re-teaching their agent the same rule every session. getFour real guards with their origin audits, verbatim deny messages, and the five properties that keep guardrails from getting ripped out. doCount your repeated corrections, then promote them up the ladder: wrapper, hook, CI gate — stopping at the lowest level that holds. open the demo → demo 02 · 2026-07 The Browser Is a Shell Command Replacing 18,000 tokens of always-loaded browser-automation schema with ten shell commands and a README — and why the agent gets sharper, not weaker. forAgent users paying token tax for tools they barely touch; builders choosing between MCP and CLIs. getThe cost math, four design choices that make a tool agent-friendly, live transcripts, and where MCP still wins. doAudit your always-loaded schemas, then wrap the five operations you actually use as small composable commands. open the demo → demo 01 · 2026-07 Twelve Messages Everything typed to take a live event from spreadsheet chaos to published social content — and the method that made the other 99% happen. forAnyone delegating real work to an AI agent — functional through deeply technical. getThe verbatim conversation, a five-principle method, the pipeline that runs it, and two honest failures. doSteal the shape: templates over outputs, constraints in the repo, judgment kept human. open the demo →
