Series¶

Some posts form a natural sequence and are best read in order. Each series below is a self-contained arc — you can start anywhere, but starting at part one gives the full context.

Giving an AI Agent a Brain

How I connected IronClaw (a persistent AI agent running on EC2) to Synthesis via MCP — and what broke in unexpected ways during debugging.

Knowledge Context Protocol

From llms.txt (a table of contents) to KCP (a navigable map), and from a map to a governed substrate: how AI agents find knowledge they can trust, and how an action taken on that knowledge becomes something you can prove afterwards.
