The Lab ships small, sharp tools and full-stack systems — privacy-first, local-first, and agent-native — built with the latest agentic models and workflows.
| 🧩 Composable | small cores, swappable parts, no decade-old admin UX |
| 🗃️ Local-first | data lives on your machine — self-custody, cloud opt-in, never assumed |
| ⛓️ Verifiable | sealed work ships as real hash commitments — when revealed, the math has to check out |
◱ the work
Eleven builds, committed sealed. Each carries a real sha256(name:salt)
commitment, minted into this repo's history before it ever shipped. When one
ships, we publish its name and salt — and the math either checks out or it
doesn't. One revealed so far; ten still sealed. Don't trust, verify.
◆ tx 03 revealed — ctxlens · du(1) for context windows: will your codebase fit inside the model's head? Answered fully offline. Don't take our word for it — this is the entire mechanic, in two lines you can run:
printf '%s:%s' ctxlens f375165ea3c6cd14b0fe7cc816ad7916 | sha256sum
# → 32c7744bab7e675e30cb89f48574d12b4e56f87a17e32663f6fa1ed80778b07b
# matches the commitment sealed at tx 03, back when it was still a riddle ✓how the seals work · plain-text ledger
Each sealed build published sha256("name:salt") — a one-way fingerprint of its
name plus a secret 16-byte salt — long before it shipped. The hash proves the
name existed without revealing it; the salt makes the name un-guessable ahead of
time. To reveal, we publish the name and salt, and anyone can recompute the hash
and confirm it matches the commitment already sitting in git history.
Proof-of-existence, no blockchain required — the ledger is git log.

◳ the lab
A human-in-the-loop agentic workshop.
The pace of this technological revolution is daunting, exhilarating, and relentless — and the Lab runs toward it, not from it. We experiment at the edge of agentic development, bet that the frontier keeps barreling forward, and build for whatever comes next.
