About these docs

Field notes plus reproducible recipes

Every entry captures the actual stack, naming decisions, and rituals behind a project. If something shipped, it shows up here with evidence: queries, prototypes, and interface stories you can reuse.

  • Structured like a knowledge base so you can scan by family or search.
  • Cross-links into MDX case studies for deeper architecture notes.
  • Includes “why we changed it” commentary for future audits.

Source of truth

Git-backed MDX + datasets

Markdown snapshots live with the repos that power the work, so diffs double as change logs.

When to use it

Reference + onboarding

Colleagues borrow these notes when reviving a prototype, validating a stack, or answering scope questions.

Documentation

Stacks, experiments, and routines

Each collection bundles the tools, datasets, and rituals used across the work. Start with a family that mirrors your workflow, then drill into the linked case studies.

If you spot a gap, send the file path, dataset, or commit hash that needs more narrative. I'll update the docs so the next person has the full story.
