I build AI on-ramps for humans.
Follow for open standards, agent tooling, and measurement infrastructure. Weekly essays, regular shipping.
Founder, PAICE.work · Snap Synapse
Systems don't generally fail because the tech is bad. They fail at the handoffs between roles, between agents, between decisions that no one designed to connect. I build the standards, diagnostics, and tooling that make human-AI collaboration structurally sound, not just technically possible.
Interoperability over integration · Measurement over intuition · Structure over speed
True intelligence in the AI era is composite: human and machine capabilities combined into something neither can achieve alone. PAICE.work operationalizes this through an Aggregated Intelligence Posture (AIP) measured across three vectors, bounded by the weakest:
| Vector | Product | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| People | PAICE.work | How effectively humans and AI actually collaborate. Behavioral, not self-report. |
| Infrastructure | Siteline | How ready an organization's digital presence is for AI agents acting on behalf of humans |
| Regulation | EveryAILaw | How informed and prepared an organization is for AI-specific compliance |
Synthesized into a single AI Posture score. One number, three places to invest.
Released independently because interoperability is the point, not lock-in. Built because the existing ecosystem couldn't deliver fast enough.
| Project | What it does |
|---|---|
| graceful-boundaries | How services communicate operational limits to humans and autonomous agents. Four conformance levels, open spec, CC-BY-4.0. |
| skill-provenance | Version identity and manifest tracking for agent skill bundles · Listed in Awesome OpenClaw Skills · 8.41/10 on ProSkills.md |
| turnfile | Peer protocol for multi-agent collaboration without a central orchestrator. Consent-based, adversarial-by-design negotiation. |
| hardguard25 | Human-safe identifier alphabet. Eliminates ambiguous characters so IDs survive handoff between people, print, and machines. |
| ai-posture | Aggregated Intelligence Posture framework. One governance score across People, Infrastructure, and Regulation — bounded by the weakest link. |
| publedge | Open recordkeeping protocol for regulatory interpretations — JIAs, RMAs, no-action letters, advisory opinions. Hash-pinned, ontology-bound, machine-readable. (v0.1-pre) |
| Project | What it does |
|---|---|
| ai-tool-watch | Plain-English AI capability reference, verified through a four-model consensus cascade. Keeps assessment rubrics current as models change. |
| knowledge-as-code-template | Ontology-first template for structured, version-controlled knowledge bases. Powers AI Tool Watch, Every AI Law, and more. |
| skill-a11y-audit | Portable agent skill that runs WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility audits on AI-generated web code. Quality gate for agent-authored interfaces. |
Privacy-preserving verification via PAICE-NEAR, consolidating into the main PAICE repo.
Personal tooling. Not part of the PAICE Portfolio brand. Open source.
| Project | What it does |
|---|---|
| prompter-kit | Script tools for your Elgato Prompter that they forgot to ship |
| substack2md | Convert Substack newsletters to markdown for local archives and consistent RAG storage |
| audible-pdf-renamer | Rename cryptically-named Audible PDF companions to their actual book titles |
Active contributor to other people's projects that I use and care about.
| Project | Upstream | My contribution |
|---|---|---|
| OB1 | Nate B. Jones' Open Brain | Extensions, recipes, skills, and primitives in the Open Brain ecosystem |
| agentlink | Martin Mose Facondini's agentlink | CLI enhancements proposed upstream in PR #2: detect, scan, hooks, sync --backup, global config, integration tests |
- PAICE.work PBC measures how effectively people and AI systems collaborate. Behavioral diagnostics for People + AI Collaboration Effectiveness.
- Snap Synapse LLC helps teams and orgs apply AI responsibly, without the usual drama or damage. Structured implementations that move from AI promise to AI practice.
The open standards and tooling above are free and always will be. Sponsorship keeps specs evolving, tests passing, and tooling free for everyone. The commercial products (PAICE.work, Siteline, EveryAILaw) sustain themselves through paid tiers.
