Notes on systems I've built, written about, or traded on — organized by domain. Credentials and shipped work live on the home page; this is where the thinking goes.

Agent architecture read in order

A curated path from Cursor setup through repo-level AGENTS.md, private knowledge bases, MCP tool design, RL-trained models, and single-agent coding loops.

  1. Getting started with Cursor: automate the loop Treat Cursor as an automation surface — rules, tests, MCP, and agents run the boring parts so you keep one thread for judgment. Read →
  2. The AGENTS.md standard for AI coding agents One open Markdown file per repo — closest AGENTS.md wins; user prompts override. Read →
  3. Organizing knowledge for AI agents Pair a public site with a private brain — progressive disclosure, lifespans, verification metadata. Read →
  4. Building MCP servers with search and execute Two MCP tools — search and execute — beat hundreds of per-operation tool definitions. Read →
  5. Reinforcement learning for tool calling in agent models RL specializes models for the tool loop — Composer is the public case study. Read →
  6. Keep the thread: why plan–critique–build pipelines fail modern coding agents One agent, one thread, small units — verify with tests, not lossy handoffs. Read →
