Builder notebook

AI systems, written from the workshop floor.

Mimir Works is where I document real AI workflows, agent architecture, vault design, and the tradeoffs behind building durable systems that are actually usable.

What you’ll find here

  • Personal AI operating systems
  • Specialist agents and orchestration
  • Markdown-first knowledge design

What I’m writing about

Less AI hype, more architecture. These essays are about how to make AI useful, durable, and worth living inside.

Systems

How the stack is shaped, where the boundaries live, and what changes over time.

Agents

Delegation, orchestration, context boundaries, and why specialist roles matter.

Knowledge

Vault design, retrieval, markdown durability, PARA, Zettelkasten, and memory layers.

For now, the blog comes first

The goal is to establish credibility through consistent writing, real systems, and public technical thinking. Consulting and automation services can follow once the audience and proof are there.
