Notes from the work.

First note in progress.

The free building blocks live on GitHub.

Individual skills, slash commands and MCP tools — extracted from real work, published as I build them. Use them, fork them, send a PR.

Michael Loistl

Hi, I'm Michael. I spent 25 years as an architect, 15 as a developer, and now build AI tools for people building things on their own.

I kept doing the same repeating tasks until I figured out how to get AI to handle them. I document what works and share it openly — the skills, the failures, and the workflows worth keeping.

Writing lives in the journal. The free building blocks live on GitHub.
