Workshop

Those who are in love with practice without knowledge are like the sailor who gets into a ship without rudder or compass and who never can be certain whether he is going.

I build AI systems to run my own work. Each page here shows what I built and how it works.

Project list

  • The village site (2026). I built my portfolio with AI as a walkable Roman harbor town. Every page also reads as plain text.
  • Fleet Console and Campaign Map (2026). I built one dashboard to run all my projects and direct my AI officers, plus a planning method to go with it.
  • Knowledge base (2026). I built a library for my AI officers so they work from sources I picked and cited. Each idea sits in its own file, so an officer loads only what a task needs and logs what it can't find.
  • The officers (2026). I set up AI officers that each own one field of my work and bring me the next step. None acts on its own until a clean run of work earns my sign-off.
  • Public skills library (2026). I publish the Claude skills I wrote for my own work. Each is rewritten first so nothing private ships, and credited where the idea came from someone else.

How I build

I build my AI to work as an extension of me. It knows my products, my voice and my standards, and I decide how it reads all of that before it says a word. That's why my skills, my files and my software are built the way they are. At work, it's why our sales team's product library comes with a prompt pack beside it.
