Small tools, carefully connected

The most convincing tools are often small enough to understand in one sitting. They hold one clear idea, expose their edges, and make the next step feel obvious rather than impressive.

Connecting those tools is less about building a giant machine and more about choosing where context should travel. A note becomes a prompt, a prompt becomes a decision, and a decision leaves a trace that can be found later.

The measure of a system is not how much it can contain. It is whether it gives back attention when the work gets complicated.
