The Finish Line Keeps Moving
Before TutorPro's soft launch, I had agents rebuild its help center from the source code. They found a tutor who couldn't accept a parent's request while 13,758 tests passed, and every pass since has found more. Quality is still the hard part of agentic development, and I want your ideas for closing the gap.
Feeding the Factory: One Paragraph In, Three Tasks Queued
A trace through one real session: the paragraph I typed, the standing rules and memory already loaded before it, the lint that gates every spec before an issue exists, and the three dependency-ordered agent tasks that came out the far end. Both skill files are linked as public gists.
I Built My Own Claude Tag
Anthropic put Claude in Slack. I already had Claude running on a Mac mini with my tools, my checkouts, and my task queue, so I gave that one a Slack handle instead. Now I @mention composer with anything, it remembers the thread, and this week it talked me through my own stale rule before pulling a repo.
Teaching the Factory to Pick Its Own Tools
My AI dev platform was choosing models with a regex. A $54 accounting bug, one research paper, and a morning of planning later, Composer is building its own complexity-aware model router. Here's the design.
The Inverse Architecture: Building the System That Builds the Systems
Four months ago I introduced Composer, my AI software factory. Since then it's shipped 642 pull requests for about $4K — and I've stopped reading the code. Here's the architecture everyone else is chasing backwards.
How I Accidentally Used Claude as a Backup System
My autonomous agent platform marked a task DONE but never opened the PR — and then the worktree got cleaned up, taking 1,300 lines of validated work with it. Except it wasn't gone. Claude had been keeping a backup I never asked for.
19 Days, 239 Commits, and One Lesson in Restraint
I hadn't built a mobile app since the Objective-C days. With AI writing nearly all the code, I went from an empty scaffold to app-store-ready in 19 days. The hardest part wasn't building — it was knowing when to stop.
My Remote Agent Experiment: From Cloud Agents to My Own AI Dev Team
OpenClaw didn't work out. Cloud agents frustrated me. So I built my own orchestration platform — six AI agents that design, review, build, test, and document code while I sleep. Here's the story of Composer.
