The Harness
To run my thirty-four projects at once, I built my own harness. It holds my assistants, my session automations, my safeguards, and the dashboard that lists them all. It is a single project, but one that serves all the others: every safeguard set up here benefits every project I run.
A company of agents that runs by itself, automatically
Paperclip can run a company by itself, automatically: a Direction, six departments, each with its own robot. I drop in an idea, it becomes a ticket, the right department picks it up, handles it, then sends it back to me for validation. I step in only if something blocks. The rest of the time, Mecene keeps running while I do something else.
Safeguards that stop me before the damage
Seventy-four automations run in the background of every session. One blocks writing to a file I'm already modifying elsewhere, another stops me if I declare a job finished without having verified it. They are what prevents the silent overwriting of work in progress.
One hundred thirty-four skills, one per trade
Each recurring field, writing, research, code review, project management, has its own skill, loaded only when it's useful. I don't improvise a practice in a vacuum: the skill knows the field's state of the art before I use it.
A dashboard of all the dashboards
A registry lists every interface I've built, project by project, so that I never rebuild one that already exists. Another file keeps the cost of each session, model by model.
