System studies.
Follow a task through the software and methods that support it. Inspect the architecture, source, and current development status.
Agent engineering
Give coding agents a shared process for defining tasks, building software, and checking changes.
Task contracts keep the scope explicit. Context routing and reusable skills guide implementation; tests and Git reviews support acceptance.
- DefineA task contract records scope, constraints, and acceptance.
- PrepareContext routing selects relevant instructions and skills.
- BuildThe agent runner supervises the implementation process.
- VerifyTests and source-bound review support an acceptance decision.
Sources and development status
Component implementation documented; independent performance evaluation pending
Connected projects: Open Agent Software System.
Supporting skills: Task Contract, Verification Review, Engineering profile.
Next evaluation: Reproduce an end-to-end assignment across two agent harnesses and compare acceptance, cost and corrections against an ordinary development workflow.
Portable intelligence
Move useful knowledge between models and applications, with its sources and your corrections attached.
Review and select the context before exporting it. The current prototype imports documented formats locally and produces portable packs, JSONL, or Markdown.
- ImportRead a supported conversation or document format locally.
- ReviewInspect, correct, and explicitly select the useful excerpts.
- ComposeAssemble selected context around a task and a size limit.
- ExportProduce a portable pack, JSONL, or Markdown for another tool.
Sources and development status
Local-first prototype; governed cross-agent handoff still experimental
Connected projects: Mindport.
Supporting skills: Verification Review.
Next evaluation: Demonstrate a synthetic source import, verified excerpt, correction, selective export and independent recipient review.
Decision engineering
Keep the evidence and alternatives behind a decision available when the situation changes.
Select methods for the question, retain the source records, and propose revisions without overwriting earlier decisions.
- FrameDefine the question, mandate, and available evidence.
- InvestigateChoose methods and retain sources behind the findings.
- DecideRecord alternatives and the reasoning behind a decision.
- RevisitPropose a revision when the evidence or assumptions change.
Sources and development status
Experimental methods and evidence workbench
Connected projects: Venture Method.
Supporting skills: Task Contract, Verification Review.
Next evaluation: Run a buyer decision with documented options, new contradictory evidence and a traceable revision without rewriting the original decision.
Source projects.
The underlying implementations, with their creators and reviewed source revisions.
Open Agent Software System
A versioned development environment for agents: task contracts, skills, context routing, supervised execution and testable handoffs.
Founder-developed public project. Brad Khan.
Source and implementation notes
Public repository documents an installer, CLI, local test suite and benchmark fixtures. Independent performance comparisons remain outstanding.
Engineering project, not a customer deployment or proven efficiency claim.
Source reviewed: 35f10ba4cb75.
Mindport
Local-first context portability, beginning with selective ChatGPT and Markdown imports and exportable, user-reviewed context packs.
Founder-developed prototype. Brad Khan.
Source and implementation notes
Public MVP branch describes local browser and Python workflows, search and explicit selection.
Import adapters and memory architecture beyond the initial prototype are research or unmerged work. Not a customer deployment.
Source reviewed: 016b81302f9c.
Venture Method
Portable professional methods, decisions, evidence and revisions for product, venture and strategic work.
Cyber Agency methods research. Brad Khan / Cyber Agency.
Source and implementation notes
Public methods catalog, local engagement CLI and structured records.
Repository currently lacks an explicit redistribution license. Do not call it an open-source software distribution until licensing is resolved.
