If this is still alive in five years I want it to be something people still trust, not something that quietly harvested them.

Plain English, not lawyers.
Suffering for over 15 years with a rare brain tumour, I went to countless doctors who told me nothing was wrong with me. They would say I was stressed, or needed to sleep more, exercise more, misdiagnosed with PCOS 3 times. These were NHS and private doctors. Specialists.

Less than 100 miles away, about 50 tons of steel and copper are spinning at exactly 3,600 RPM. A giant rotor slews magnetic fields through copper windings and, per Faraday and Maxwell, induces a synchronized 60 Hz sine wave across an entire grid.
That electromagnetic wave propagates through grain oriented silicon steel, laminated transformer cores, kilometers of aluminum conductor steel reinforced cable, SF₆ insulated switchgear, substations switching hundreds of kilovolts, distribution transformers, oxygen free copper wiring, silicon MOSFETs, ferrites, multilayer ceramic capacitors, and the USB C cable plugged into my phone.
There, power feeds a capacitive touchscreen. A transparent matrix of indium tin oxide is deposited on glass. The controller continuously scans the grid. My finger changes the mutual capacitance by a fraction of a picofarad, perturbing the local electric field just enough for dedicated analog front ends to detect before software reconstructs the touch.
Iron ore. Bauxite. Silica sand. Copper ore. Lithium brines. Rare earths.
Refined. Alloyed. Crystallized. Doped. Implanted. Deposited. Etched. Polished.
We purified sand into nearly perfect single crystal silicon, grew boules, sliced wafers, placed dopant atoms with nanometer precision, fabricated chips containing tens of billions of transistors, synchronized them with clocks billions of times per second, and engineered them to execute matrix multiplications at a scale no human could comprehend.
Somewhere along the way, matmuls started to look like us.
That is an astonishing thought.
The towers of abstraction are staggering. No one person built this. No one person fully understands it. Yet every morning millions of people wake up tired, answer emails, argue over specifications, chase margins, fix defects, make payroll, and try to cover their mortgages. Somehow the whole machine keeps humming.
A planetary Swiss watch assembled from physics, markets, bureaucracy, ambition, error, and human necessity.
And after all of that, I touch a piece of conductive glass and step into the Roman forum of modern thought, where millions of minds test ideas against one another in real time.
Clockwork humanity.
It staggers the mind.

I have a new /skill called 'court-clerk' that emerged while developing my game Doggo108.
Your favourite AI agent acts as a court clerk in an appeals/adjudication process that runs though the CLI.
It keeps track of all appeals and previous rulings to form a kind of library of 'common law' that can be referenced in future appeals. All names are anonymised in an effort to keep rulings fair.

Let me know how to improve it - or fork it and DIY.
I always thought I had a pretty good eye.
Studied fine arts.
Good at spotting patterns.
Pretty observant.
Then I found this account.
Whoever runs it sees things I didn’t even know could be seen.
/writing-great-skills is quickly becoming my most often-invoked skill
It's just really good at writing skills, guys.

after a few weeks of daily use of @mattpocockuk 's brilliant grill-me skill, Claude Code has started to suggest that we do grill-me sessions without me telling it. 🤖
