Take the whole drawer

Everything from “What Actually Happens When You Give a Dev Team Claude Code for a Day” — the open-source tools, the papers, the write-ups. Build the one ridiculous tool. Give the keepers a wall.

The tools (open source)

ai-pr-review

The PR walkthrough with the wall: a guided reading order, architecture diagrams, the why — and you can’t submit a review without opening every file.

design-explorer

Generate 15 full design variants, pick by eye. It’s easier to choose than to describe.

claude-chat-search

Semantic + keyword search over your own Claude Code sessions — the tool that read its own logs and rebuilt itself.

limbic

The library I made without noticing: embeddings, search, novelty, clustering for personal data projects.

The write-ups

How I Keep Accidentally Building Tools

The prompt → skill → tool pattern, in long form.

Petrarca — an intelligent reading companion

The project the 15 Renaissance themes were generated for.

Dragoman

The daily newspaper of the world, in 12 languages. Founded for one reader.

The papers

First Come First Served: The Impact of File Position on Code Review

Fregnan et al., ESEC/FSE 2022 — 64% lower odds of catching a defect in the last file shown vs. the first.

Satisfaction of search in diagnostic radiology

Once you find one problem, you stop looking as hard. Old, human, and very much alive in code review.

Data Storytelling in Data Visualisation (CHI 2024)

Shao et al. — narrative framing measurably improves comprehension of insights.

The Impact of Generative AI on Critical Thinking (CHI 2025)

Lee et al., Microsoft — knowledge workers using GenAI self-report less critical-thinking effort; confidence in the AI drives the drop.

The framing I’m building against

Simon Willison — “cognitive debt”

Plus his Showboat tool: make the agent write up how it verified its own work.

Addy Osmani — “comprehension debt”

The bill that comes due for code you didn’t read.
