WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS

Lab

This is my experimental workspace. The AI agent system I'm building. Open source stuff. Things that actually work instead of things that sound good.

THE MAIN PROJECT

AI Agent System

I built this multi-agent system because I forget everything. Multiple agents, each doing one thing well: one tracks tasks and surfaces patterns, another reminds me time exists, a third captures stuff before it evaporates.

Without it, everything falls through the cracks. With it, I actually function.

How It's Built

Built on OpenClaw (still the best agent orchestration platform I've found). Using Claude for all the agent conversations. Everything runs locally on my Mac, synced to GitHub.

The whole system is intentionally simple. Focused. No bloat.

Agents Interrupt Me

They don't wait for me to check in. They surface things when they're relevant. This changes everything about whether I actually remember.

Nothing Gets Lost

One session ends, next begins. My memory persists. Decisions and patterns from last week are still accessible. No context reset.

Minimal Interface

I could build a prettier interface. Instead I built one that doesn't add noise. Less chrome, more useful.

No Vendor Lock-In

Built on open tools (OpenClaw, open models available). If I change my mind about the stack, I'm not trapped.

Real Example

I'm deep in coding and lose track of time. System triggers when I've been focused for 2 hours. Coach interrupts: "You haven't eaten. You've missed three messages. Your next meeting is in 30 min." Gets me to pause without losing state.

Infrastructure automation, monitoring tools, and developer productivity scripts.

OpenClaw Skills

Custom skills for personal productivity and automation patterns.

# Example: Time awareness skill export const timeAwareness = { trigger: "focus-session-start", actions: ["set-timer", "schedule-breaks", "context-capture"] }
EXPERIMENTS

What I'm Exploring

Most productivity tools add more noise than signal. My obsession: how to build AI assistants that help without demanding constant attention.

Low-Noise Interfaces

How minimal can an interface be and still be useful?

Agent Supervision Patterns

How do multiple AI agents collaborate without creating chaos?

Interaction Cost

What's the actual cost of different interaction patterns? Some tools help. Some just slow you down.

No answers yet. But the questions are right.
