engineer who likes systems you can inspect, interrupt, and prove.

currently: continuously rediscovering multi-agent coordination and delegation problems Jeffrey already solved weeks or months ago, then rebuilding my own answers to them because i have a chronic inability to look at a solved problem without thinking "yeah, but what if i came at it from this angle?"

live exhibit: colak.sh

a village of persistent engineering actors so the operator is not the message bus. each lead owns a board, a cockpit pane, and a mailbox.

speech-core still closes immutable turns. talker is the spoken attention consumer. voicecat is the phone line.

daily coding agent is a long-lived oh-my-pi fork: upstream main stays pristine; local work lives on cap/* and composes into runtime.

• colak-sh — terminal-native portfolio. visitor and agent share one browser-local shell.
• speech-core — realtime speech substrate. immutable turns.
• browser-ops — one chrome process per named face; a lease is a mutation capability for exactly one tab.
• voicecat — the phone line between speech-core and a headed omp tui.
• systemd-ops — inspect/control/author systemd. writes only through sealed plan/apply.
• hcom — mail between persistent leads.
• mardi-gras — operator board for beads.
• oh-my-pi — the fork that hosts the village. contributions to can1357/oh-my-pi are listed in the exhibit, not as a dumped tree.

taste: substrate over slogans. one authority per state. public surfaces stay narrow.
