GSkillPacks / agentic-skills
GeorgeQLe/agentic-skills		 ship log: shipped — GSkillPacks, 179 pack skills, 41 packs 43 commits since 2026-06-15T10:30 ET. Portable alignment server packaged as a distributable artifact (1bb065f, 539dff7 2026-06-15T14:48 ET). ord-align routing contract clarified (8f5d3a3 2026-06-15T23:59 ET). Lightweight research alignment workflow added (3db19a0 2026-06-15T23:18 ET). Pack-sunset alignment plan written (3133a4d 2026-06-15T21:59 ET). Skillpacks 0.1.4 released (2b7b858 2026-06-16T00:31 ET): skillpacks package boundary tightened (eecbced), publish boundary lesson documented (4b127df), skill install archive filtering fixed (ae1d07f 2026-06-16T01:15 ET). Latest SHA: ae1d07f. Pack-sunset plan suggests the distributed-pack architecture is under evaluation. The ord-align routing had false positives that needed two fix commits — routing stability is a live concern. Pack boundary and publish pipeline took 4 commits to stabilize. Execute the pack-sunset assessment: decide which packs get sunset, consolidated, or promoted to first-class. The alignment plan was written — now run it and commit the decision.
pokechops (new)
GeorgeQLe/pokechops		 not in ship log — first commit 2026-06-15T21:38 ET; ORD workflow pilot 1 commit: 4eabf1c (2026-06-15T21:38 ET) "scaffold pokechops repo + install ORD skill pack." README grounds it in the derivative-cuts use case (pokechops.com). ORD = OSS Rapid Distribution; pokechops is the first product test of this shipping pattern. Node/Electron gitignore and project-local ORD pack designation added. Generated skill roots are gitignored, recreated by skillpacks refresh. Scaffold only — no implementation code yet. "pokechops.com" suggests a public domain is registered or reserved. Whether this competes with or replaces the Remotion-based production pipeline in the content repo is unclear. Write the first implementation slice: the core clip-from-timestamp-list workflow. Add to ship log once the ORD intent is confirmed (internal tool vs. public product).
pictures-mcp (new)
GeorgeQLe/pictures-mcp		 not in ship log — local MCP server, shipped day 1 3 commits. Initial server: 87a95ae (2026-06-15T08:09 ET) — list/search/view/save tools, single-file uv script, Pillow, PICTURES_DIR env. clear_inbox tool added (7403f4d 2026-06-15T20:20 ET) with recoverable _trash default. Dual-client (Claude Code + Codex) documented (0ec1763 2026-06-15T20:52 ET). Functional tool, deployed locally same day. Internal tool. Not in ship log, no public URL. No further commits today. No action needed — local tool is shipped. Consider whether it belongs in ship log as a shipped internal tool.
video-recording-analyzer
GeorgeQLe/video-recording-analyzer		 not in ship log — public repo, "Local, no-cloud pipeline to transcribe, OCR-narrate, and reverse-script recordings" 1 commit today: 17e634c (2026-06-16T01:07 ET) "docs: add reverse script studio alignment review." Public repo, pushed 2026-06-16T05:07 UTC. The reverse-script-studio concept (generating a script from a recording) is positioned alongside the derivative-cuts and pokechops workflow. Alignment review added but no implementation commits visible in this window. The tool's relationship to pokechops and the content pipeline is not documented yet. Clarify whether video-recording-analyzer feeds into pokechops (tool chain) or is a standalone OSS tool. Add to ship log if it's a public product.
content repo
GeorgeQLe/content		 private, content/YouTube production repo — roadmap parked, derivative-cuts strategy active 9 commits since 2026-06-15T08:15 ET. Roadmap parked after discovery (e2a0ffad 2026-06-15T10:39 ET). take-scout shipped: take/retake detection tool with HTML review page and per-video output for YRqXq7pJAVM (9c78a3c 2026-06-15T08:15 ET). filler-scout refined: ignore ffmpeg-static, future scout roadmap added (bd459b0 2026-06-15T08:15 ET). Video audit Stage 1+2 for YRqXq7pJAVM published (f379e6c 2026-06-15T08:15 ET) — day-0 public audit, canonical report awaiting approval. YouTube clipping strategy alignment added (78d8f66 2026-06-15T19:52 ET). Derivative-cuts plan for YRqXq7pJAVM approved (d7e7333 2026-06-15T21:00 ET, 8/8 gates, AFPS Skill Spotlight series, hero = C2+H1-alt first, assemble H1 after Shorts validate). Transcriber Windows/WSL file-search split (ae2f5b6 2026-06-16T00:41 ET). Parked repo brainstorm candidates documented (d4d4361 2026-06-16T01:02 ET). Roadmap parked signals a strategy reset — the "How tRPC works" Remotion production track (no new commits since 2026-06-14T21:02 ET) may be paused or deprioritized. The derivative-cuts approach uses existing YRqXq7pJAVM footage rather than producing new recordings. gBlockParty v2 video remains unlisted (7+ days since ready-to-launch signal). Content task files and pipeline phase inaccessible from this cloud run. Get the YRqXq7pJAVM video audit canonical report approved and confirmed. Then cut the first derivative (C2 Shorts or H1-alt continuous). Launch the gBlockParty v2 unlisted video — 7+ days is too long a backlog on a ready asset.
afps-tracker
GeorgeQLe/afps-tracker		 ship log: building — "Tracks agent-built products through the skills pipeline" 7 new commits since yesterday (12 total since 2026-06-14). Porter Five Forces Stage 2 review added and finalized (6c67f51, 72b51b9, a26e7aa 2026-06-15T10:34–11:22 ET). Orchestrator routing lesson captured. SWOT Stage 2 review added (013bf48 2026-06-16T00:50 ET), SWOT canonicalized (fda815d 2026-06-16T00:58 ET). Business research pack designation recorded (27bdac9 2026-06-16T01:10 ET). Latest SHA: 27bdac9 2026-06-16T01:10 ET. Still all research framework artifacts — Porter, SWOT, ICP (prior), competitive analysis (prior). No product code in 12+ commits. The research pipeline is now doing Porter + SWOT simultaneously on afps-tracker, formforge, and draft-stonk-mk3 — suggesting a systematic framework run rather than product-specific discovery. SWOT is done. Research phase should now close. Ship the first product code commit. The ICP, comp analysis, Porter, and SWOT are complete — the evidence for a build decision exists. Write the "go" commit.
alignmeant
GeorgeQLe/alignmeant		 not in ship log — private, customer discovery + research in progress 5 commits since 2026-06-14T23:56 ET. Four forces artifact promoted (8bead6c 2026-06-14T23:56 ET), five rings artifact prepared and promoted (f96728e, 9a07572 2026-06-15T00:29–00:48 ET). ICP finalized (0885d7f 2026-06-15T11:17 ET) — "feat: finalize customer discovery ICP." Research artifacts advanced (f1af88f 2026-06-16T01:02 ET). ICP completion is the go/no-go gate artifact. ICP now done. The product has W3 + JTBD (prior week) + ICP (today) + Porter + competitive analysis. No code commits. The research runway is complete; the go/no-go call has not been committed to the repo. Write the go/no-go decision as a committed artifact. If go, start the first code sprint using the ICP as the target. alignmeant has more completed research frameworks than any other building product right now.
draft-stonk-mk3
GeorgeQLe/draft-stonk-mk3		 ship log: building — "Fantasy stock market game. Third rebuild, reached alpha" 11 commits (all since 2026-06-14T21:06 ET). Sync skill added, competitive analysis finalized (a7a96a7 2026-06-15T11:25 ET). Journey map framework review (1de0283 2026-06-15T11:59 ET), JTBD timeline scope + Stage 2 review + HTML render (1de1964, 3fc084e, 258c62b 2026-06-15T13:40–19:06 ET). Latest SHA: 258c62b 2026-06-15T19:06 ET. Research phase is the same pattern as afps-tracker and formforge — Porter, SWOT, JTBD, competitive analysis. Journey map and JTBD are both done. No code commits in this window (prior work reached alpha but no product code here yet). "Third rebuild" in the ship log suggests restarts are a risk pattern. JTBD + journey map + competitive analysis are done. Make the go/no-go call and commit it. If go, write the first code slice for Mk3 that didn't exist in Mk1 or Mk2 — the JTBD timeline likely points to where the previous builds fell short.
formforge
GeorgeQLe/formforge		 ship log: dormant — "AI form builder" — but Porter + ICP research active today 8 commits (all since 2026-06-15T00:57 ET). Customer discovery scope added (015084d 2026-06-15T00:57 ET), Stage 2 review (702082c 2026-06-15T09:23 ET), ICP confirmed (2c1f7d5 2026-06-15T11:03 ET), Porter Five Forces scope + review + finalization (7f924c2, 9d42d31, 71d65b4 2026-06-15T11:12–11:52 ET), Porter finalization shipped (b261633 2026-06-15T11:53 ET). Ship log says "dormant" but 8 commits of customer discovery and competitive analysis landed today. Either formforge is being reactivated or the research pipeline is running on it in parallel with the others. If reactivation, the ship log needs updating. If parallel research for comparison only, the purpose should be documented. Commit the intent: is formforge being reactivated (ship log → building) or is this parallel research? If reactivating, write the go/no-go call with the ICP + Porter evidence. If just research, archive the artifacts and leave the dormant label.
omega-war
GeorgeQLe/omega-war		 not in ship log — browser-first RTS game, design phase transitioning to prototype 4 commits since 2026-06-14T23:57 ET. Topic 04 hub entry + gate reconciliation closed (c83651d 2026-06-15T00:23 ET, from prior session). Topic 05 started (11655d3 2026-06-15T11:25 ET). Unit schema synthesized across all 5 reviewed topics + tactical slice spec started (19f9519 2026-06-15T13:32 ET) — "docs: synthesize unit schema and start tactical slice spec." This is the project's first design-to-prototype handoff signal. 18 total commits across the 7-day window. Topic 06 (route/strategic movement) not yet started. Stage-2 compiled YAML not yet written. However, the tactical slice spec may allow prototype work to begin in parallel with completing topic 06. The spec's scope and "first slice" definition are in the repo but inaccessible from this cloud run. Complete topic 06, write the Stage-2 compiled YAML, then start the first prototype slice based on the tactical spec. The schema synthesis is done — prototyping is unblocked for everything except the route mechanic.
agentic-coding-os
GeorgeQLe/agentic-coding-os		 not in ship log — NixOS agentic coding OS, Phase 4 Step 4.5 complete, Step 4.6 next No new commits since f9a55eb (2026-06-15T01:00 ET), which closed Phase 4 Step 4.5. All evidence from prior window: Phase 3 green gate closed, Phase 4 Steps 4.1–4.5 (agentos-status module, universal checks, desktop/browser session checks, --json mode, VM test fixes, documentation) completed in one overnight session. 16 commits in Phase 4 alone. 93 total commits since 2026-06-08 (search cap: 77 per prior query, 16 confirmed today). NixOS + private. Phase 4 Step 4.6 (green validation gate — full end-to-end VM test green with agentos-status) is the remaining gate. Still not in ship log. Run Phase 4 Step 4.6 green gate. After Phase 4 closes, add agentic-coding-os to the ship log and evaluate Phase 5 scope (WSL2 hybrid target or multi-user hardening).
Lexcorp War Room
GeorgeQLe/lexcorp-war-room		 not in ship log — internal ops tool, landing copy Stage 3 done, Q8/Q10 follow-ups pending No new commits since cf015b1 (2026-06-15T00:17 ET, landing copy Stage 3 finalized). Last push: 2026-06-15T04:17 UTC. Per yesterday's briefing: 503 tests / 69 files / zero Neon. Landing copy "A live war room for one founder's product empire." is approved. Q8 doc-refresh and Q10 implementation follow-ups noted. No visible activity today. The War Room has the most complete test suite and cleanest architecture of any internal tool — it is ready to move to the next development phase. Start Q8 doc-refresh. Then Q10 implementation. These are the last documented gaps before the War Room can function as a live operations dashboard.
pitwall-monorepo
GeorgeQLe/pitwall-monorepo		 ship log: shipped — Pitwall; 598/598 tests pass 1 commit: 419a185 (2026-06-15T13:43 ET) "feat: show session hours in daily-pace hover tooltip" — threads timeLabel into sessionSliceFeedback, 598/598 tests pass. Product is in active maintenance and incremental feature mode. No blockers. Shipped product with active test suite. Cloud sync and data storage noted as post-calcLLM work per ship log. No urgent action. Ship log note: cloud sync lands after calcLLM finishes — that dependency remains unresolved while calcLLM is stalled.
calcLLM v2
GeorgeQLe/calcllm-v2		 ship log: building — "The one SaaS bet" — day 11 with no commits Not in pushed-repos results since 2026-06-08 in any briefing window. Day 11 of observable silence. Five other products (afps-tracker, formforge, alignmeant, draft-stonk-mk3, omega-war) all received material research investment today. New tools shipped (pokechops, pictures-mcp, video-recording-analyzer). calcLLM v2 received none. The "one SaaS bet" is absorbing zero agentic sessions. Trace/Crew split positioning done since 2026-06-05 per prior briefings. No observable reason for the stall in this cloud run. Start the Trace prototype today. One commit. The 11-day stall is the single largest misalignment between stated priority and execution in the portfolio. This needs to change before day 14.
Personal landing (me)
GeorgeQLe/me		 ship log: shipped — maintenance, alignment archive updated daily Last commit: 402fb38 (2026-06-15T10:31 ET, automated briefing sync). Ship log as of 2026-06-10 (6 days stale). New products and status changes since the audit: pokechops (new), pictures-mcp (new), video-recording-analyzer (new), alignmeant ICP done, formforge research active despite dormant label, omega-war transitioning to prototype, lexcorp-war-room landing copy done. Ship log is 6 days stale. Three new repos added to the portfolio today, and at least two lifecycle label changes (formforge: dormant → research-reactivating?, omega-war: should now be "building"). Update ship log: add pokechops (ORD pilot), add omega-war as building, add lexcorp-war-room (internal), reconsider formforge label. 45-minute task.
Loadoutworks / Metternich Engine / Poke
(source-map portfolio repos)		 killed (Loadoutworks) / dormant (Metternich, Poke) No push activity in the pushed-repos results across the full 7-day window. Lifecycle labels are authoritative per ship-log audit 2026-06-10. No action.

Content and social pipeline

Signals and risks

Next 3 moves

  1. Start calcLLM v2 prototype code today — day 11, not day 14. Five other products advanced in research today. The Trace positioning is done, the Crew split is done. Pick the smallest working slice of Trace (a single cost-estimation query to one provider) and commit it. agentic-coding-os completed Phase 4 Steps 4.1–4.5 in one session. calcLLM v2 needs its equivalent first session — not more research, just code. The 11-day gap between "stated #1 priority" and "zero commits" is the most actionable signal in this briefing.
  2. Sequence the research-complete tracks and commit the order. Four products have now completed research frameworks (afps-tracker: ICP + Porter + SWOT; alignmeant: W3 + JTBD + ICP + Porter; draft-stonk-mk3: comp analysis + JTBD + journey map; formforge: ICP + Porter). All four are at the same decision gate. The next step is not more research — it is a written sequencing decision committed to the War Room or ship log: "We build X first, then Y, and Z only if X ships." Unsequenced parallel research produces orphaned artifacts. Sequenced research produces a build order. Write the order.
  3. Launch the gBlockParty v2 video before the context window closes. Seven days unlisted. The AFPS derivative-cuts plan is now the active content priority, but that work is weeks away from producing a publishable output. The gBlockParty v2 video is ready now. Publishing it costs one action and surfaces the build-in-public signal to the channel audience while derivative-cuts production ramps up. Every additional day unlisted is a missed distribution opportunity on a completed asset.
