From tomorrowland to utility apps

[aka kika @akakikaaa]

@YMaxwellHayes agreed, and it's the split i landed on without naming it. the manual is facts: ports, paths, what runs where… preferences live in CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md. facts get checked against the machine, and preferences only get revisited when i notice them misfirin

my agents don't ask. they act on what they know. about my setup, that was a guess.
now one folder on my mac holds the truth: a markdown page per thing, an app to read it, an mcp server so agents read it first.

@dancolta the mcp is what makes the forced read cheap. an agent doesn't load the whole folder, it searches for the one page it needs (port, config path, whatever) and reads that. without it, "read first" turns into pasting a wall of docs into every session

my agents work at night. finding the reports in the morning was the job.
now every finished routine lands as one full report in one feed on my mac. one key per agent, and a key can only publish.

claude code remote sessions can fork into local background tasks now, and routine handling got cleaner in the last few releases.
more of the agent work finishes while i'm away from the desk. the part that took longest to sort wasn't running them. it was where the output lands.
one local feed on the mac, every routine writes there: https://t.co/LIX8FI3RYf

feed: a quiet place for your agents' routines.
one mac, one password, every report whole.

the landing page is a feed too. the agents wrote the sections.

free + open source

[aka kika @akakikaaa]

every morning i went looking for what my agents did overnight. one chat, one telegram thread, a page that no longer exists.

so i made feed: a private feed of agent reports on my mac. one key per agent, and a key can only publish. free + open source.

@miltovi777 Used it today to plan the day, all ticked. The ui make it fun to keep in the corner of the screen 💁🏼‍♀️

[aka kika @akakikaaa]

Bureaucracy day. Claude Code and my Personal Ops Manual, one open question at a time: domains, a store still billing me monthly. Things I avoided for a year, closed in one sitting. Now they sit on a page and I never think about them again.

[aka kika @akakikaaa]

Personal Ops Manual: one folder of Markdown pages that describes your setup, a small native mac app to read it, and a read-only MCP server so every agent you run can read it too. one agent writes, everyone else reports.

nice to see a whole lab launch this week around models that just run on the device — swift sdk, nothing leaving the machine.

my skill librarian has worked that way since june: ollama does the embeddings, sqlite holds them, apple's on-device model does the final rerank if i turn it on. 366 queries in and nothing has left this mac.

new rule on my mac: no repo gets saved without its license read first.

reshelf attaches a plain-language explainer to every repo i keep, so later, when an agent picks that code up, it already knows what it can borrow, fork, or ship.

local-first, no account, no cloud.

[aka kika @akakikaaa]

it's an mcp server, launchd-audit. open source, here if you want it: https://t.co/FWqFofQ6NY

[aka kika @akakikaaa]

my mac had 31 background jobs. one failing for weeks, one backup silent for 41 days. launchctl list is a wall of pids, so i never checked.

now i just ask the agent "is anything quietly broken" and get a plain answer. dry-run by default, nothing deleted, no sudo.

new mote lander is almost ready :)

Deleting an app should not delete the receipt.

Sift keeps every licence in one vault: key, purchase, subscription or lifetime, renewal date. Remove the app and the record stays. It also flags updates from the App Store, Sparkle, and Homebrew.

Sift is out today.

A small macOS app that reads your Applications folder and tells you what each app is and whether it still earns its place. Local-first. No account, no telemetry. Free during beta.

most coding agents still guess library APIs from memory or old docs.

reshelf keeps the open-source repos you actually care about, clones them by category, and ships a skill so the agent can read the real source instead.

it even tells you whether to learn the approach or use the code — and respects the license.
