Writing
Notes about things I’m learning while working with AI — tools I try, workflows I explore, and ideas worth writing down.
- OpenClaw's Memory Stack: A Local-First Map of What Lives Where Mar 31, 2026
A practical walkthrough of OpenClaw's five memory mechanisms, how they work together, and why I still prefer a local-first approach to agent memory.
- Agents Are Not Prompts Mar 28, 2026
AutoHarness and Anthropic point to the same lesson: agent performance depends less on prompt cleverness than on the harness that constrains, evaluates, and carries work forward.
- Why I Wrote a Skill to Review Skills Mar 27, 2026
If stable AI performance depends on reusable skills, then skills themselves need a review method before they can be trusted.
- Playing With Codex Autoresearch on a Kaggle Playground Mar 26, 2026
How I turned Codex into a narrow repo-specific experiment loop, with a generated program.md and a Kaggle competition repo as the proving ground.
- When AI Starts Running Itself Mar 25, 2026
From token growth to autoresearch and OpenClaw, the defining shift in this AI cycle is not just smarter models, but systems that keep running, spending resources, and moving themselves forward.
- OpenClaw Upgrade: The Safer Path I Wish I Had Followed Mar 24, 2026
A practical OpenClaw upgrade checklist that starts with backups, verifies the gateway and plugins first, avoids a bad release, and documents how I recovered the WeChat plugin after the SDK migration.
- OpenClaw Multi-Agent: How I Set Up My Second Agent Mar 22, 2026
How I turned OpenClaw from one main agent into a small multi-agent team, starting with one coding specialist and a plan for research, operations, and backlog sharing.
- OpenClaw Setup: My First 8 Hours From Zero to Actually Working Mar 20, 2026
What I actually did to get OpenClaw working from a clean reset, including Slack, Tavily, Lossless Claw, QMD, and the parts that still failed.
- How I try new AI tools in real work Feb 27, 2026
A simple way I use to see whether a new AI tool is actually useful in real tasks.
