Built tolast.

Open-source agent tooling, plus the ByteQuilt stack: a database, a cache, an agent colony, and a design system, all borrowing ideas from nature.

Reactive Skills
Open source2026

A runtime for agent skills

Reactive Skills

Compiles passive markdown agent instructions into deterministic hierarchical state machines, with typed signal guards and an immutable event ledger for instant session recovery.

Progressive Depth
Open source2025

Long-form writing at three depths

Progressive Depth

Layers each section into a concise Canopy, explanatory Understory, and detailed Mycelium so readers choose skim, standard, or deep dive. The blog here uses it.

AXI Toolkit
Open source2026

CLIs built for agents and people

AXI Toolkit

Agent eXperience Interfaces: a terminal tic-tac-toe (npx -y tttui-axi), plus agent-facing CLIs for Honcho, Pages CMS, and Google ADK.

ByteQuilt
Redesigned2026

Six bio-inspired tools, one living stack

ByteQuilt

The umbrella for LumineDB, Bergcache, FormicaryAI, Phino UI, Reticulus and IDstitch. Use one on its own, or weave them together and ship software that keeps adapting long after launch.

Computing primitives drawn from biology

Mutuus

A ByteQuilt research program: data structures, operational strategies, and coordination patterns that are formally specified, implemented in Rust, and benchmarked against their classical counterparts. Hover to peek at the new site.

LumineDB
Pending release2026
LumineDB logo

Every state, remembered.

LumineDB

An event-sourced database that keeps the full history of your data. Replay any moment, branch any timeline, audit anything. Biological analog: epigenetic memory.

Bergcache
Pending release2026
Bergcache logo

Hot data at the surface.

Bergcache

Tiered caching that stays coherent under pressure. What matters stays warm; the rest quietly sinks. Biological analog: iceberg stratification.

RustN-APICaching
FormicaryAI
Pending release2026
FormicaryAI logo

Work that finds its own path.

FormicaryAI

Orchestrate jobs and agents like a colony: no single point of failure, just trails that strengthen with use. Biological analog: ant-colony foraging.

RustTokioMulti-agent
Phino UI
Pending release2026
Phino UI logo

Interfaces grown in proportion.

Phino UI

Tokens and components tuned by harmonic ratios, so your product keeps its shape as it scales. Biological analog: phyllotaxis.

ReactCSSDesign tokens
IDstitch
Pending release2026
IDstitch logo

One entity, many systems.

IDstitch

An identity platform that resolves who-is-who across fragmented sources and stitches records into one confident identity graph. Biological analog: immune recognition, matching the right receptor to the right signature.

Reticulus
In progress2026
Reticulus logo

Change, felt everywhere.

Reticulus

Propagates every change to everything that depends on it, without hand-wired pub/sub plumbing. Biological analog: mycelial networks.
