NOW PLAYINGRust / Tokio / SSE

Hydra Agent

A Rust CLI that routes one conversation across every coding-agent credential already on the machine. Provider routing, live model catalogs, failover bounded by the auth boundary.

CUED UPMarkdown / Shell / Git worktrees

Agent workflow skills

Extending the verify and learn phases of the skill set — pushing more of an agent workflow onto exit codes and less onto the model saying it went fine.

CUED UPPython / Essentia / SwiftUI

AIDeeJay on device

A local-first set builder moving from a Python analysis pipeline to a SwiftUI app that runs the whole thing on the phone. No audio leaves the device.

Open questions

  1. How much of an agent workflow can be made deterministic before it stops being useful.
  2. Where a router should stop — the moment it tries to be the thing it routes to, it inherits every feature request downstream.
  3. What the browser runtime is actually doing under the interfaces I ship, and how little of it I usually need to know.

Off the clock
