    Gear gets you there. Craft keeps the next person on the path.

    Methods

    Method

    Repack

    Conserve the knowledge. Clear the clutter.

    The practice of AI conservation. Preserve what your experiments taught you, then rebuild your Backpack for the trail ahead.

    Method

    Aristotle Skill

    Channel a thinker's worldview, not a costume.

    An agent skill for Claude, Codex, Grok, and Muse. Ground answers in what they actually wrote, reason in their method, and tutor instead of lecture. Fork the roster. Add the next Aristotle.

    Method

    Solid Skill

    Cut word salad and word vomit. Name the pattern.

    Writing is solid when it has no voids. Diagnose vomit vs salad, run the shuffle test, then return two cuts so you start catching it yourself. Same shape as Aristotle: build the tool, publish the method.

    Trailhead

    One golden record. Yours.

    Contacts scatter across LinkedIn, Gmail, and three phones. Merge the duplicates, log the touchpoints, and keep a private source of truth.

    Method

    Muse CLI Chat

    Wrap the harness. Don't rebuild it.

    Unofficial VS Code and Cursor sidebar for Meta's Muse Code.
    Same agent, next to your files.
    Written with Muse, about Muse, so you can use more Muse.
    Fork it. Fill the next gap.

    Field guide

    I Built My Own Recruiter

    Run your job search like a software project.

    Part memoir, part manual. Score, sweep, outreach, then fork the method for your own search. The first published sibling on this trail.

    Maps

    Method

    Tech Ecosystem Map Skill

    The map is not the territory.

    An agent skill for Claude, Codex, Grok, and Muse. Real-geography, layered maps of a region's tech, AI, and capital ecosystem. Real coastline, real neighborhoods, live-verified companies. Fork it. Map the next region.

    AI Map of South Florida

    Jupiter to Homestead.

    Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill.

    Marinating

    Logz

    Logbook keeps your trail.

    Marinating

    LinkedTwin

    No followers. No likes. Just real work.

    A professional network for people tired of polish. Presence earned through contribution and dialogue, not performance.
