The Comments Were a Symptom
28% comment-to-code across 1,505 files, one app at 115%, and getting worse. I nearly fixed it by deleting comments — which would have destroyed the only surviving copy of the reasoning.

How the work gets made
How the Hahn-Solo agentic pipeline actually runs — methodologies that produced the case studies.
Do the Skills Earn Their Keep?
The skills my agents rely on are knowledge artifacts — so I measure whether they earn their keep: coverage, reliability signals, and skill-to-outcome quality. Evidence over vibes.

The Clickdummy Is a Contract
I built UI from the prose spec and it drifted — stacked headers, missing decorative elements. The fix: treat the approved clickdummy as a binding contract, enforced by a screenshot diff before review.

Skills, For Real
I called them skills. The runtime never did. Three iterations, one cutover commit, and 46 markdown fragments finally became something a fresh agent could actually discover.

The Marketplace SDK Dogfood Loop
Ten numbered runs hardened Marketplace skills; Run 10 (PageShot) shipped first in Pages. Later apps dogfed the same learnings—patches, scale proof, or regression when skills already matched.
