    justinwetch/HIGAgentSkills: Apple Human Interface Guidelines for Agents [text]

    156 distilled HIG files behind a routing index of 1,057 keywords, sixteen of them loaded every single time. The guidelines are not the interesting part. Someone doing the dull work of making them fit a context budget is, because that is the difference between guidance an agent can cite and guidance it half-remembers.

    Honkish [text]

    A love letter to Honk, the messaging app Benji Taylor built before Family. Two chat bubbles, no send button, no history, characters appearing as you type them. Not a post-mortem: a catalogue of the small interactions that made it feel like itself.

    playgrnd [electronic resource]

    Thirty-three tiny browser tools for making backgrounds, patterns, posters and textures: dithered landmasses, corrupted satellite mosaics, text-mode terrain maps. Everything runs locally and nothing is uploaded. The index itself is set as a catalogue, which is a nicer joke than most tool directories manage.

    Designing Grok Bot for a world of persistent agents [text]

    The sidebar stops being a list of chats and becomes a roster of bots you keep. What I keep turning over is how much of the working they chose to show: we stripped the visible reasoning out of our own AI search because it occasionally exposed things it should not, and they went the other way and made the avatar carry the state.

    Bloom QR [electronic resource]

    A vase of peonies that you tap to bloom into a working QR code, with the flower and the palette both swappable.
