right now.
Right now
Three things in flight at once. Folio Forge — a free, browser-only portfolio builder — got a ground-up UI rebuild this week: 35 role-fluent templates, full palette editor with 10 presets and 6 editable color slots, 5 font pairs, single-file HTML export. Terminal Dossier template downloads today; the rest are in flight.
BrainOS — the Python kernel that helps AI agents check their own work — is wired into Claude Code via a SessionStart hook. Fires on every session, every directory, since late May. Smoke / stress / arena tests passing.
JotterDown v2 is in dev — a continuity-first writing app where a change to one fact shows you exactly which pages need to update before you commit. The v1 stays live at jotterdown.app.
Northbridge Horizon shipped earlier this month. WESTFALL — the book and its case-file universe — is the long-running creative thread. No release date; it ships when the proof chain holds.

Ground-up UI: Webflow-style 3-pane layout (left nav + huge preview + contextual inspector). 35 templates total, 11 new this push. Full palette editor — 10 presets plus 6 editable color slots with native picker + hex input. 5 font pairs. Device-frame toggle. Cmd+1..5 to switch sections.
Rubik AI Tutor went live
A 3D scroll-controlled Rubik's Cube tutor at zacgibson.work/rubik. Real WebGL cube, real cube math, beginner-method solver. Scrub the scroll to inspect any move.
BrainOS kernel installed locally
Eight CLI commands (classify · plan · ingest · claim · propose · close · query · brief) cover the loop. Wired into Claude Code via global SessionStart hook. Smoke / stress / arena tests passing.
JotterDown manuscript-first UI shipped to dev
Three layout modes — Focus, Balanced, Proof — with a paper-warm writing column and a calm proof lens on the side.
Northbridge Horizon went live
Real token issuance, audit logs you can verify, revocation that takes effect in about a second, two-person approval for the risky operations.
Essay: Deterministic by default
Why the portfolio builder doesn't call a model at runtime — and why that's the entire point.
