This isn't about AI being dangerous. It's about a habit most of us have developed without...
A practical model for AI coding agents that need to remember projects, tasks, executions, and runtime sessions separately.
Why I split my local AI assistant into experience, control, execution, observation, and memory planes instead of one giant loop.
Every morning, I found myself onboarding a new AI agent. Not a new human teammate. A new Claude Code...
The problem with AI agents is you can't see them think You kick off a task in Claude Code,...
I built CliGate so coding agents can use runtime sessions, local skills, and desktop controls from one local assistant.
