Personal systems / built in the open
Systems for thinking, working & shipping.
I build practical workflows that connect people, AI tools, and knowledge. This is where I document what survives real use.
01 / Field guides
Guides, not content.
Working notes refined into useful systems. Filter by topic or search the published guides.

Write the rules down before you automate more
The biggest unlock in my AI assistant wasn't a new model. It was a one-page filing guide both I and the agents could read.

Follow-up that survives a Monday on a job site
The lead that goes cold is the most expensive thing a service business owns. Here's the filter I use before any AI touches lead response.
02 / Skill cabinet
The working database.
Skills and prompts collected across the tools I use. Search the published inventory or narrow it by category.
