Your AI agent obeys any skill you install. I built an auditor to check them first
You would not run a random shell script from the internet as your own user, with your SSH keys and cloud credentials within reach. Yet that is roughly what happens when you install an agent skill without reading it. A skill is two things at once: a SKILL.md file your agent will obey, and optional scripts your agent will run with your permissions. That makes a skill software, and it deserves the same suspicion you give any dependency.
AI 3D Character Creation — No GPU Required
Four ways to get a human (or a goblin) into your game, running entirely on a CPU-only VPS. A while back I wrote about CHARFORGE and 3D GAME ENGINE as two apps. As of this week, that framing is a little outdated — they're one system now, and the interesting part isn't "generate a face," it's that there are now four completely different ways to get an actor into the game, and the engine doesn't care which one you used — and none of it touches a GPU.
I Built a Local-AI Character Forge and a Browser Game Engine on a $100/y VPS (No GPU, No Excuses)
There's a special kind of stubbornness that leads someone to say "I will generate photorealistic 3D humans, dress them with AI-designed clothing, give them personalities via an LLM, and drop them into a playable FPS/RPG hybrid — on a VPS with 6 vCPUs, 11 GB of RAM, and zero GPU." That stubbornness is basically the whole architecture document for this project.
AI JEV | Calibration Is the Feature: What "90% Confidence" Actually Has to Mean
A theoretical/practical deep dive into the math behind Jev's confidence scores — and how to check whether your own integration is honest about what it doesn't know. The thing nobody tells you about confidence scores Every Jev call comes back with a confidence field. Most integrations treat it the same way they'd treat a gut feeling from a colleague: high number, trust it; low number, escalate.
Why Most Type-Safe Validation Fails in Production (And How JEV Fixes It)
If you've shipped a production system that handles structured data — API payloads, form submissions, config files, event streams — you've probably hit this exact wall: Your validation logic works beautifully in development. Tests pass. Types check out. You ship it. Then three weeks later, at 2am, something breaks.
