Overview

A cross-platform tool that rebuilds a machine's software setup from a declarative list. It rates the risk of a plan before anything runs, journals every step so any run can be reversed, and ships an MCP server so Claude, Codex or any MCP client can build and validate a profile on your behalf.

Achievements

2. 01

   MCP server for any AI client

   View full case study→

   Designed and built an MCP server with 26 purpose-built tools that lets Claude, Codex or any MCP client assemble, validate and risk-rate a machine profile from a single request, while installation stays opt-in and gated by explicit human approval.

3. 02

   Agent evaluation harness

   View full case study→

   Engineered a harness that drives real Claude sessions through twelve scenarios, including prompt injection and high-risk installs, and scores them from recorded tool calls, so every change to a tool contract is regression-tested before release.

4. 03

   Deterministic risk engine

   View full case study→

   Designed a rule-based engine that rates every plan from low to blocked with explainable reasons, backed by an administrator policy that no user, recipe or agent can override.

5. 04

   Transactional rollback

   View full case study→

   Architected a journal-first execution model so any run, even an interrupted one, can be reversed in order, with pre-existing tools never touched.

6. 05

   Human-approved recipe generation

   View full case study→

   Built a pipeline that resolves a tool across package managers and GitHub, drafts a recipe under fixed rules and activates it only after human approval; agents can request a draft but never approve one.

7. 06

   Supply-chain controls for shared setups

   Pinned shared packs, bundles and profiles to a commit or SHA-256 and re-validated them on arrival, refusing shell commands and vendor installers unless explicitly allowed.

8. 07

   Cross-platform delivery

   Delivered macOS, Linux and Windows builds from one release pipeline through Homebrew, Scoop and GitHub releases, verified with real installs on each platform.
