omega-war
GeorgeQLe/omega-war		 not in ship log — RTS game, transitioned from design to prototype today 3 commits in today's window (2 new since yesterday's briefing at 17:23 ET). 819a6f97 (2026-06-16T12:44 ET, in yesterday's window but after the briefing run): "docs: ship tactical prototype planning artifacts." 48b645d (2026-06-16T23:17 ET): "ship deployment plan prototype" — first code execution commit. 8acd29f (2026-06-17T00:40 ET): "Render roster stacks as backing cards" — second code commit, rendering the unit roster UI. Timeline: unit schema synthesized 2026-06-15T13:32 ET → tactical prototype planning artifacts 2026-06-16T12:44 ET → prototype code 2026-06-16T23:17 ET → roster rendering 2026-06-17T00:40 ET. Design-to-running-code: ~35 hours. Topic 06 (route/strategic movement) is still incomplete per the Stage-2 schema cycle. Prototype is running but scoped to a tactical slice — full game loop requires topic 06 and Stage-2 compiled YAML. Not yet in ship log. Add omega-war to ship log as "building." Continue the prototype slice to a playable tactical loop. Complete topic 06 in parallel and write the Stage-2 compiled YAML to unlock the route mechanic.
int-maxxing (new)
GeorgeQLe/int-maxxing		 not in ship log — new private repo, 2 concept branches, alignment-gated 3 commits today. a63d181 (2026-06-17T00:12 ET): "chore: designate business-app project type and ignore generated skill roots" — repo scaffolded with ORD-style setup. 3606b48 (2026-06-17T00:12 ET): "docs(vs-agent): add intMaxxing vs-agent idea-scope-brief alignment review page" — the vs-agent branch of intMaxxing (commit message: "rebrand of the Cortex PRD") covers an AI competitive challenge platform; renders the approved Idea Assumptions Manifest, proposed idea-brief/interview/.progress.yaml, and Q1–Q8 approval gates; canonical research files gated on alignment-page approval. bb6e5d7 (2026-06-17T00:40 ET): "docs(humanity): add intMaxxing Human-vs-Human idea-scope-brief alignment page" — the humanity branch (competitive human-vs-human ranked arena), parallel to vs-agent under the intmaxxing parent concept; index updated to list both sibling branches; session record appended to history. Both concept branches are alignment-gated — no canonical research files written yet. The two branches (vs-agent and humanity) are sibling concepts under one product parent; the discovery phase will need to pick one or define how they coexist. Not in ship log. Approve the alignment pages to unlock canonical research files. Run idea-brief interviews for both branches. Then pick a primary branch to take into discovery — vs-agent (AI platform) and humanity (competitive arena) have different target audiences and build complexity.
trail-brake-labs (new)
GeorgeQLe/trail-brake-labs		 not in ship log — new private repo, 1 commit 1 commit: addb924 (2026-06-17T00:45 ET) "chore: ship skill pack hygiene" — repo appears to follow the same ORD pattern as pokechops (skill pack hygiene on day 1 = ORD pack install and gitignore). No further context available from this cloud run; repo is private and outside MCP session scope. Unknown product — first commit only, single hygiene change. Cannot determine purpose from commit message alone. No action until README or product context is readable. Flag for ship-log audit.
calcLLM v2
GeorgeQLe/calcllm-v2		 ship log: building — "The one SaaS bet" — day 12 with no product code 1 commit: f35f626 (2026-06-17T00:41 ET) "chore: ignore generated skill roots" — a .gitignore update, not product code. This is the same ORD/skill-pack hygiene pattern applied to int-maxxing and trail-brake-labs tonight; George appears to have run a multi-repo cleanup pass rather than a product session. Day 12 total with no observable Trace or Crew implementation commits. The .gitignore commit confirms the repo was visited tonight but no product code landed. Five products got meaningful investment this week (omega-war hit prototype, int-maxxing discovered, afps-tracker research complete, alignmeant ICP done, draft-stonk-mk3 JTBD done). The "one SaaS bet" continues to absorb zero agentic build sessions. Start the Trace prototype today. The .gitignore cleanup removed the last housekeeping excuse. One commit: a cost-estimation query to a single provider endpoint. Day 14 is two days away — the informal inflection point flagged in prior briefings.
alignmeant
GeorgeQLe/alignmeant		 not in ship log — research phase, ICP finalized 2026-06-15, experience map reopened today 1 commit: 129eb0b (2026-06-16T22:04 ET) "research: reopen experience map continuity review." The go/no-go was not written today — instead the experience map continuity review was reopened. Per yesterday's evidence: ICP finalized (2026-06-15T11:17 ET), W3 + JTBD + ICP + Porter + competitive analysis all complete. Experience map is an additional research layer before the go/no-go commit. The research runway is now extending into its sixth framework (experience map continuity). ICP was the declared go/no-go gate per the 2026-06-14 briefing. The go/no-go commitment has not been written as a repo artifact despite more completed research than any other building product. Close the experience map review. Then write the go/no-go decision as a committed artifact. alignmeant has the most comprehensive research stack in the portfolio — the decision is overdue.
gBlockParty v2
GeorgeQLe/gblockparty-v2		 ship log: building — "Agent workflow orchestration and product research platform" 1 commit: a51f6f2 (2026-06-17T00:13 ET) "chore: stage OpenAI Ona competitive refresh." Competitive analysis for gBlockParty v2 is being updated to include OpenAI Ona as a new competitive signal. This is a research/positioning update, not a code commit. The gBlockParty v2 video remains unlisted (8+ days since first flagged as ready-to-launch in the 2026-06-09 briefing). The competitive refresh suggests the market landscape changed (OpenAI Ona entered the comparison set). The video launch continues to be deferred. If OpenAI Ona changes the positioning story, the video launch may need the updated competitive picture first — but that should be a day's work, not a blocker for 8 days. Complete the OpenAI Ona competitive refresh and decide: does it change the video's positioning or not? If not, launch the video immediately. If yes, revise the positioning and launch within 48 hours.
GSkillPacks / agentic-skills
GeorgeQLe/agentic-skills		 ship log: shipped — GSkillPacks, 179 pack skills, 41 packs 1 commit: 29a51e9 (2026-06-17T00:01 ET) "Fix journey-map synthesis routing guardrails." v0.1.4 routing edge cases continue to surface — the same pattern noted in the 2026-06-16 briefing (pack boundary stabilization required multiple commits). The journey-map synthesis route was producing false positives; guardrails were tightened. Routing stability is an ongoing concern post-v0.1.4. Each framework (Porter, SWOT, ICP, journey-map, experience-map) seems to need its own routing guardrail fix cycle. The pack-sunset assessment written 2026-06-15T21:59 ET has not yet produced a public decision. Execute the pack-sunset assessment. The plan was written — run it and commit the decision. Routing stability issues may be symptomatic of a pack architecture that needs consolidation rather than incremental patching.
afps-tracker
GeorgeQLe/afps-tracker		 ship log: building — "Tracks agent-built products through the skills pipeline" No new commits since 27bdac9 (2026-06-16T01:10 ET, Porter + SWOT complete). Research phase is fully done: ICP + Porter + SWOT + competitive analysis all canonicalized. No product code in 12+ commits. Research runway complete. The go/no-go call has not been committed. Same pattern as alignmeant and draft-stonk-mk3 — research exhausted but no decision artifact written. Write the go/no-go commit. If go, start the first product code slice. The research evidence exists — the build decision is the missing artifact.
draft-stonk-mk3
GeorgeQLe/draft-stonk-mk3		 ship log: building — "Fantasy stock market game. Third rebuild, reached alpha" No new commits since 258c62b (2026-06-15T19:06 ET, JTBD + journey map complete). Research phase complete: competitive analysis + JTBD + journey map all done. Same decision-gate pattern as afps-tracker and alignmeant. Three products with complete research stacks, none with a committed go/no-go artifact. Sequence: write the go/no-go for all three research-complete products (afps-tracker, alignmeant, draft-stonk-mk3) in one session, ordered by leverage. This produces the build order and clears the paralysis.
agentic-coding-os
GeorgeQLe/agentic-coding-os		 not in ship log — NixOS agentic coding OS, Phase 4 Steps 4.1–4.5 complete, Step 4.6 next No new commits since f9a55eb (2026-06-15T01:00 ET). Phase 4 Step 4.6 (green validation gate — full end-to-end VM test green with agentos-status) remains the next gate. 93+ total commits since 2026-06-08. Phase 4 Step 4.6 is the last gate. Not in ship log. Run Phase 4 Step 4.6 green gate. After Phase 4 closes, add to ship log and scope Phase 5.
pitwall-monorepo
GeorgeQLe/pitwall-monorepo		 ship log: shipped — Pitwall; 598/598 tests pass No new commits since 419a185 (2026-06-15T13:43 ET, session-hours tooltip). Shipped product, active test suite. Cloud sync blocked on calcLLM v2 per ship log note. No blockers at the product level. Cloud sync remains blocked on calcLLM v2 shipping. No urgent action. The calcLLM v2 stall is the indirect blocker here.
content repo / pokechops / video-recording-analyzer / pictures-mcp
(content pipeline)		 private repos — roadmap parked (Jun 15), derivative-cuts from YRqXq7pJAVM active; pokechops ORD pilot No new commits visible since yesterday's briefing in any of these repos (content, pokechops, video-recording-analyzer, pictures-mcp are outside MCP session scope). Last known: content roadmap parked, YRqXq7pJAVM derivative-cuts plan approved (8/8 gates, d7e7333 2026-06-15T21:00 ET). gBlockParty v2 video still unlisted. gBlockParty v2 video is 8+ days unlisted. Content task files, pipeline phase, YouTube inventory, and Remotion scene list unavailable from cloud run. Launch the gBlockParty v2 video. Begin the first derivative cut from YRqXq7pJAVM (C2 Shorts or H1-alt continuous per the approved plan).
Personal landing (me)
GeorgeQLe/me		 ship log: shipped — maintenance, alignment archive updated daily Last commit: 45a8813 (2026-06-16T21:24 ET, automated briefing sync). Ship log as of 2026-06-10 (7 days stale). Missing: omega-war (building — prototype shipped today), int-maxxing (new), trail-brake-labs (new), pokechops (new Jun 15), pictures-mcp (new Jun 15), video-recording-analyzer (new Jun 15). NOW_PROJECTS lists calcLLM v2 as "the one SaaS bet" — 12 days without product code. Ship log is 7 days stale. Six products are missing. NOW_PROJECTS does not reflect actual execution priority. Update ship log: add omega-war (building), int-maxxing (building — discovery), reconsider formforge (dormant vs. research-reactivating), note calcLLM v2 stall honestly.
Loadoutworks / Metternich Engine / Poke
(source-map portfolio repos)		 killed (Loadoutworks) / dormant (Metternich, Poke) No push activity in any search window. Lifecycle labels are authoritative per ship-log audit 2026-06-10. No action.

Signals and risks

Next 3 moves

  1. Start the calcLLM v2 Trace prototype — one code commit, today. The .gitignore cleanup means the repo was visited tonight. Day 12 with no product code and a .gitignore as the only evidence of attention is untenable against "the one SaaS bet." Pick the smallest working slice: a single cost-estimation query to one provider endpoint, hardcoded, returning a number. That's the prototype. Commit it. The routing skills, discovery frameworks, and omega-war prototype all demonstrate that one focused session produces real output. calcLLM v2 needs its omega-war moment.
  2. Write go/no-go decisions for the three research-complete products in one session. afps-tracker, alignmeant, and draft-stonk-mk3 have all completed their research frameworks. None have a committed go/no-go artifact. Run one decision session: for each, write a two-paragraph artifact — one paragraph summarizing the strongest evidence for building, one paragraph summarizing the strongest evidence against. Then commit the verdict and the build sequence. Unsequenced research does not produce products. A written decision, even a "no," is more valuable than a seventh framework run.
  3. Launch the gBlockParty v2 video before the OpenAI Ona refresh changes the story. The competitive refresh was staged tonight. If Ona changes the positioning, the revised video needs to launch immediately after. If Ona doesn't change the positioning, the video should have launched 8 days ago. Either path ends with a published video within 48 hours. The derivative-cuts plan is the long-range content strategy; gBlockParty v2 is a ready asset going cold while the long-range plan ramps up.
