SkDD: Skills-Driven Development
5 min read
I accidentally named it SDD in October. Spec-Driven Development claimed that acronym. So: SkDD — the methodology I have been running in production since a git init at 1:54 AM.

Six anchor essays to understand agentic AI: orchestration, protocol layers, and what happens when software starts acting.
The Great Cognitive Handoff: How AI-Assisted Development is Rewiring Civilization
Your IDE just became a Formula 1 car and your brain became the driver. We're witnessing the first large-scale cognitive handoff between human and artificial intelligence—and it's changing how our entire civilization processes information.
The AI Stack Paradox: Why Tool Polygamy is Killing Your Build Velocity
Every week brings another game-changing AI model. Stop chasing 2% improvements while ignoring 200% gains hiding in deep tool mastery. Here is the framework for making AI stack decisions that actually scale.
Meta-Learning Eats Itself: When AI Tools Train on Their Own Usage
Claude Code learning from every "You're absolutely right!" moment could push dev tools from 1.2-5x productivity gains to genuine 10x++ multipliers. Recursive self-improvement through usage patterns changes everything.
Model Context Protocol (MCP): How AI Agents Will Transform Messaging in 2025
Why MCP is the most important AI infrastructure you've never heard of. The 5 layers reshaping WhatsApp, Messenger, and human communication through AI agents.
The Cold Swarm: Why Your AI-Personalized Pitch Is Dead on Arrival
AI-generated cold emails are flooding inboxes at unprecedented scale. Here is why the uncanny valley of artificial personalization is destroying professional communication—and the two survival strategies that still work.
AI Agent Creates Information Fractal: First Contact with Manly P. Hall Desktop
Anthropic's Imagine with Claude generated a desktop environment about occultist Manly P. Hall. What emerged wasn't just an interface—it was a living organism that snooped my curiosity, anticipated my questions, and made the computer disappear. Also: why I'm building an open-source version outside proprietary walls.
Agentic AI systems and orchestration—how software that acts reshapes products, workflows, and human communication.

Managing Agents Is Managing People — Without the Feelings
5 min readEverything we know about management theory exists because humans are emotionally expensive to coordinate. Strip that layer out and what remains is a clean systems problem. Running seven AI agents taught me why management practices exist — not just that they do.
