I Built an AI Detector on My Own Blog. Then I Beat It.
Two generic detectors failed on my content. So I built my own on my own ground truth: pre-2026 posts are human, 2026 posts are machine-written. It scored 44 for 44. Then I attacked it for an evening, drove its verdict on this very post down to 0.313, and packaged the attack as a skill.

alpha
IAM policy rightsizing agent with AI-powered risk signals and instant rollback.
→ [02]2026
chat-harvest
Local-first archive for AI chat traces across agents, designed as a substrate for DSPy/GEPA-style optimization loops.
→ [03]2026
chorus-ai
Frontend-only LLM ensemble interface with bring-your-own OpenRouter/API keys and client-side multi-model workflows.
→ [04]2026
extract-lessons-book
Ebook/document normalizer with optional OCR and LLM-generated advice + flowcharts. It also became a practical OCR evaluation project for me: for most books, plain PDF text extraction worked better than heavy OCR, so GLM OCR ended up as a fallback reserved for noisy pages, scans, or extraction failures.
