Agents in the loop, every working day.

Everything on this site was shipped with AI in the loop — BriteBuild, Breakfast Ball, the site itself. Not autocomplete: agent harnesses that scope, build, ship, and audit, with me steering. This page is the method.

the-loop

Five steps. The harness compounds.

The same loop shipped a sold SaaS platform and a watch app in beta. It isn't about typing less — it's about closing the distance between deciding and verifying.

  1. 01 / Scope

    The operator brain frames the actual job. No agent starts until the goal fits in one sentence.

  2. 02 / Spike

    Claude Code cuts the first working version against a fast loop. Failures are visible within minutes.

  3. 03 / Harness

    Custom skills and structured prompts turn one-off spikes into repeatable patterns. The harness compounds.

  4. 04 / Ship

    Type-check, build, push. CI deploys. The loop closes end-to-end, every time.

  5. 05 / Audit

    Adversarial review passes catch the class of mistakes humans-with-agents make.

the-library

Skills I've shipped. Every one is a tool I actually use.

This site was built by site-rebuilder, deployed by ship-site, and audited by refine-rebuild — all custom Claude Code skills. A sample of the library:

  • site-rebuilder

    End-to-end pipeline for scraping a live site and rebuilding it as a mobile-first SvelteKit + Tailwind site. Built this site.

  • ship-site

    Takes a built SvelteKit project, creates a private GitHub repo, wires Cloudflare Pages + GitHub Actions, verifies the first deploy is green.

  • refine-rebuild

    Closing-pass audit for the mistakes rebuilt sites quietly ship with — misidentified photos, mobile overflow, missing OG metadata, fabricated facts.

  • resume-builder

    Ingests a folder of messy career material and produces a master resume plus role-tailored persona variants in PDF + HTML.

  • llm-council

    Runs any decision through a council of 5 AI advisors who independently analyze, anonymously peer-review, and synthesize a verdict.

  • placerville-coop-minutes

    Generates board meeting minutes from audio transcripts. Standardized, legally-disciplined PDF + HTML. Real civic tooling, in production.

  • hosting-investigator

    Deep-dive on who hosts a website, who registered the domain, and what the owner is paying — including renewal-trap math.

  • website-auditor

    Builds a website audit dashboard for small businesses — dead links, accessibility, SEO, UX, security flaws.

  • living-design-system

    Turns an existing codebase into an interactive component-level design system with adjustable playgrounds and an annotation layer.

  • harden-secrets

    Moves API keys out of plaintext into macOS Keychain and hardens the agent harness against credential leakage — denylists + redaction hooks.
