Models
Claude Fable 5.1high
Tested Fable 5.1 over the preceding week and says he trusts it for coding and other work.
Cursor Agents
Runs Cursor agents remotely, e.g. while hiking.
GPT-6 Astra
Tested Astra as a showy model for vibe coding and landing pages, but not as trustworthy for day-to-day engineering as Fable.
Gemini Pro 3.1
Also used for specialized work.
Editor & terminal
tmux
Every agent gets a pane he can watch live in tmux.
Tools
Compound Engineering / /ce-explain
Uses /ce-explain to trace concepts and failures through the Cora codebase.
Use Monologue
Uses it to capture ideas offline while hiking.
ruby_llm-typesafe / Jev
Recommended trying typesafe Jev through RubyLLM.
CLAUDE.md and AGENT.md folder context
Project conventions, architecture, operational memory, and specialized agents turn a folder into a specialist agent.
AppSignal, Render logs, Postgres read replica, Intercom, GitHub deploys
Operations-folder skills connect production monitoring, logs, data, support, and deploy history.
/hey and /orchestrate
Slash commands for cross-project status and dispatching work to specialized folders.
Workflow
- 1Read merged diffs to learn, not to verify; let planning, testing, and review agents handle verification.every.to, 2026-09
- 2Ask the agent for the mechanics and full system journey, not only the changed lines in a diff.every.to, 2026-09
- 3After a session, ask for an explanation and quiz; let tests decide merge while the quiz reveals learning gaps.every.to, 2026-09
- 4Use the Plan → Work → Review → Compound loop so each change teaches the next one.every.to
- 5Read CLAUDE.md, architecture docs, system report, prompt, then the component-creator agent before working on Cora.every.to, 2026-04
- 6Build and use a flow until it is predictable before handing it to the dispatch layer.every.to, 2026-04
