## Resources
- resource://about/credentials - Principal bio, company info, 40-year track record, expertise areas, contact details MIME type: application/json
- resource://about/client-history - 40-year client portfolio across 7 industries with project descriptions MIME type: application/json
- resource://dispatches/pass-pointers-verify-content - A practitioner discipline for writing prompts that dispatch role-separated subagents. The orchestrator's helpful summaries silently contaminate downstream provenance; a subagent-side refusal protocol stops it. Copy-pasteable intake-check block. MIME type: text/markdown
- resource://dispatches/why-ai-projects-fail - Everyone cites the failure rates. 80%. 85%. 95%. When you actually trace the citations, a different picture emerges. Only 5-12% of organizations achieve significant financial impact from AI. MIME type: text/markdown
- resource://dispatches/the-moat-is-the-harness - 512,000 lines of Claude Code leaked. Everyone asked what's inside. The real question: what does it mean for building tools for AI agents? MIME type: text/markdown
- resource://dispatches/fog - From punch cards to frontier models in three short years. We're moving faster than our senses can apprehend. A dispatch from the AI fog. MIME type: text/markdown
- resource://dispatches/the-twenty-percent - My son built a beautiful React app with zero training. So what's left? The 80% that looks easy vs the 20% that makes it real. MIME type: text/markdown
- resource://dispatches/the-garden-timer - A broken garden timer, a helpdesk queue, and the question every mid-career professional is asking: how will I continue to pay the bills in the age of AI? MIME type: text/markdown
- resource://cairns/ship-the-constraint - Not every piece of feedback points toward addition. Not every failure mode requires more prompts, more complex orchestrations, more context, more steps or more agency. MIME type: text/plain
- resource://cairns/primary-source-terminal-authority - A model asked for provenance can hallucinate a retraction of a true claim. Another model's agreement with the first is not verification — it's two trained priors aligning. Only a fetched URL with fresh timestamp from a reliable source terminates a claim. MIME type: text/plain
- resource://cairns/role-separation-is-mechanical - "Research, synthesis, and verification are different subagent roles" is culture. Running them as distinct agent invocations — separate processes, separate contexts, separate system prompts — is architecture. The gap is where good intentions collapse silently into single-session review-your-own-work. The gap stays invisible until someone checks. MIME type: text/plain
- resource://cairns/perpetual-tomorrow - Tests that get skipped are always skipped. Code that has a comment "defer" will always be deferred. Tomorrow never comes. Express sequence, not time — dependency is timeless. MIME type: text/plain
- resource://cairns/stage-names-are-not-stage-contracts - When a process moves to a new domain, the stage names may stay the same while the behaviors diverge. A stage called "build" in one context means create the artifact. MIME type: text/plain
- resource://cairns/code-is-increasingly-ephemeral - When the cost of build + test is close to the cost of procure + integrate, it is almost always better to build. But the economics only work if you include the test. MIME type: text/plain
- resource://cairns/context-in-the-window-is-not-attention-in-focus - A model's competence in one domain doesn't transfer to the next — but it all too often feels like it does. Never assume the model knows what you haven't explicitly had it remember, or find. MIME type: text/plain
- resource://cairns/what-47-analyses-of-the-claude-code-leak-missed - We surveyed 47 public analyses of the Claude Code leak. Every one asked 'What's inside?' We asked a different question. MIME type: text/plain
- resource://cairns/dont-infer-what-you-can-detect - A regex fires every time, costs zero tokens, has zero hallucination risk. Use deterministic methods for what can be determined deterministically. MIME type: text/plain
- resource://cairns/response-budgets - MCP server tool responses land inside someone else's context window. Cap responses. Include truncated flag and total_count. MIME type: text/plain
- resource://cairns/metadata-now-enforcement-later - The cost of an unused field is zero. The cost of retrofitting a field into a running system is a migration. MIME type: text/plain
- resource://cairns/self-correction-is-not-verification - Self-correction catches tactical errors. Verification catches strategic errors. Better execution demands better oversight, not less. MIME type: text/plain
- resource://cairns/the-introspection-loop - Writing prompts for a model that doesn't exist yet. You're writing letters to a future colleague and hoping they'll be kind. MIME type: text/plain
- resource://cairns/dont-vibe-code-the-orchestration-layer - When setting up an agentic orchestration workflow to overcome the limitations of vibe coding, don't vibe code the orchestration layer. MIME type: text/plain
- resource://cairns/schema-org-id-references-across-pages - Define a Person entity with @id on your homepage, reference it by @id on every other page. AI knowledge graphs use this to deduplicate. MIME type: text/plain
- resource://cairns/css-class-names-as-documentation - Naming a class .geo-quotable instead of .highlight-box tells developers what the element is FOR and makes the design system self-documenting. MIME type: text/plain
- resource://cairns/variable-fonts-one-file-every-weight - Source Serif 4 as a variable font is one 417KB WOFF2 file covering weights 200-900. The non-variable alternative would be 6+ files over 1MB. MIME type: text/plain
