The lab

The agents, MCP servers, skills, and knowledge tools I use every day.

ADE

Herdr

The runtime the agents live in. A background server owns their terminals, so a closed lid never stops the work, and every pane reports whether its agent is working, blocked or idle.

Warp

The terminal. Claude Code and Codex run here as command-line tools.

MCP

Elliptic

Agent-native project management. Agents run projects, tasks and meetings over MCP on your own keys.

Wispr Flow

Voice dictation, with a notetaker beside it. Agents read the meetings, notes and briefs over MCP, and never the dictations.

media-mcp

My own server for X, YouTube and Instagram. Agents read a thread, transcribe a video with local Whisper, and take frames only where the audio fails.

Skills

asd-ste100

Two layers, always on. The words become Simplified Technical English, so docs and commit messages read like a person wrote them. The shape puts the next action on line one, for a reader with ADHD who will not find it in paragraph four.

/ste

design-taste-frontend

Anti-slop frontend design, for landing pages, portfolios and redesigns. It reads the brief before it picks an aesthetic, reaches for a real design system where one fits, and finishes on a ban list of the tells that give a generated page away.

/tst

better-interface

Reviews a screen across accessibility, color, layout, typography, polish and writing. It routes each problem to the right skill, then returns one ranked verdict.

/btr

break

Stress-tests one component on a temporary page with the hostile inputs it can really receive, then reports what visibly fails.

/brk

explain-interface

Answers "how was this built?" from a URL or screenshot. It reads the layers behind an effect, or reconstructs them when source code is unavailable.

/xpl

interface-review

Reviews the interface in uncommitted work, the current branch or a pull request. It checks the change itself, not the whole product.

/rev

variant

Builds several real versions of one UI piece behind a picker, so I can compare them in context and keep the winner.

/var

elliptic

Teaches an agent the Elliptic workspace over MCP: the domain model, the org discipline, and the mistakes that quietly land a write in the wrong workspace.

/ell

herdr

Drives Herdr, the terminal multiplexer for coding agents. An agent reads neighbouring panes and starts work in them, and refuses to try from outside a Herdr session.

/hrd

Herdr Gram

Agents send me push notifications and files through Herdr. They also receive work I queued for them.

/grm

Network

Tailscale

The private network under all of it. Machines, agents and services meet on the tailnet, so no box needs an open port on the internet.

Knowledge

Obsidian

Local vault for personal notes and journaling. Deliberately not wired to MCP, some things are just for me.
