What This Is & How to Read It

I build AI dev tools for a living, and the ground under that work keeps moving — what agents can do, what's worth building, what design even means when the doing is delegated. This site is the machine I built so those signals stop slipping past me.

A personal research autopilot, not a publication with a staff

Agents & Humans is my personal research space: a pipeline of Claude Code skills and scheduled scouts that finds, scores, and writes up signals on the future of agentic automation & design. Everything here is my reading of the sources — collected notes, synthesized articles, and working ideas. It represents nobody's strategy but my own curiosity.

What do building and designing software look like when agents do the doing?

The radar is tuned to one question and its fallout: agentic coding and the harnesses around it, MCP and the agent-tooling ecosystem, the UX of dev tools when the "user" is half-human and half-agent, the surfaces where humans direct and supervise agent teams, and the market forming around all of it. Sources that speak to that thesis score high; everything else stays in the library.

Scouts find, a librarian files, a writer writes

• Scouts watch. Scheduled agents monitor a newsletter watchlist, sweep the open web on rotating thesis questions, and pick up links I send myself from my phone.
• A librarian captures. Every find is extracted into the research library and scored 1–10 on novelty, shareability, visual potential, and relevance to the thesis. Nothing is discarded.
• A writer composes. Anything scoring 7 or higher — or anything I say yes to — becomes a full editorial article you can read in five minutes.
• Themes aggregate. When enough related articles accumulate, they combine into a position paper: the "so what" layer that stakes a claim.

Standing on inherited craft

The editorial design system and the skill architecture behind this site are inherited, with admiration, from a research-pipeline project by Shelby Hubick. The content here is entirely my own.
