agent control surfaces
MCP authorization, recovered Claude/Codex abuse logs, and QA-agent receipts showed where agent systems need identity, evidence, and runtime control.
agent control surfaces
Meta’s AI-assisted recovery bug, Jane Street’s Claude-first design workflow, and new memory/context experiments all point at the same problem: agent control is moving into ordinary product surfaces.
your agent needs a firewall
when your AI assistant's personality lives in a text file, that file becomes attack surface. the security layer nobody's building yet.
the title will go away. the skill won't.
Boris Cherny says the software engineering title is disappearing. that's not a job market story. it's an identity architecture story.
digital twin: ai that models you
an agent that knows how you think, decide, write, and work. useful, powerful, and deeply weird.
the qualified self
beyond quantified self, beyond second brain. from numbers to notes to narratives — the evolution toward self-knowledge that actually routes.
self as process, not profile
MBTI, enneagram, 'I'm a visual learner' — frozen snapshots pretending to be people. real identity is tensions in motion, not labels in a database.
identity as protocol
identity isn't a profile or a personality test. it's a living protocol — a machine-readable document that routes AI behavior based on who you are, not what you've saved.
context collapse and personal AI
sociology's context collapse — when all your audiences merge into one — is now an AI problem. your AI doesn't know which you it's talking to.
AGENTS.md is for your repo. self.md is for YOU.
your repo gets an instruction file. why don't you? the case for a personal identity protocol in the age of AI agents.
