Featured Work
dev-kit
AI-native development toolkit — methodology as code
Situation
AI coding agents can write code, but they implement the wrong thing, game their own tests, skip quality gates, and don't scale beyond single-agent workflows.
Decision
Built a methodology-as-code system: spec-driven development with EARS notation, information barriers (coders never see specs), hidden regression tests (40% invisible to coders), role-separated multi-agent orchestration, and file-based pipeline FSM.
Outcome
A portable toolkit that bootstraps any project into a rigorous AI-assisted development environment in under a minute. Clone, run scaffold.sh, start building.

auto-research
Autonomous overnight research engine — idea seeds to papers
Situation
Research takes hours of manual searching, reading, and synthesizing. Most people never do it systematically, and valuable ideas stay unexplored.
Decision
Built an autonomous engine that takes idea seeds and produces research papers overnight — searching Semantic Scholar, arXiv, and university libraries with quality gates and integrity checks.
Outcome
Wake up to enriched feasibility reports with academic-quality evidence, structured bibliography, gap analysis, and Typst-formatted papers ready for compilation.
Nightly cron (02:00–04:45) · 3 academic sources · DEER quality scoring · Integrity checks
browser-cli
coming soon3-layer browser automation — CDP, accessibility trees, AppleScript
Situation
Browser automation is fragile — CDP connections break, sites block headless browsers, and OAuth flows require visible browser sessions.
Decision
Built a 3-layer architecture: thin CLI router that delegates to an accessibility-tree-first engine, backed by a raw CDP SDK with 652 typed wrappers. AppleScript fallback via SSH for OS-level operations on macOS.
Outcome
One unified browser command that works across WSL2, macOS, and bot-blocked sites. Persistent sessions, structured output, and automatic environment detection.
40+ commands · 3 environment modes · 56 CDP domains · persistent sessions
