It is the day after again, the day after the official end of a frazzled week of suffering to think in the European heat. Much of the work I snuck in during it was on a new project related to the blog post I wrote two weeks ago regarding my beads/jj/agent setup. One part of this that I am willing to share at this stage is the coding-agent extension set soroban, which I released on Thursday last week. Soroban operationalizes the workflow I outlined in the blog post through a set of agent skills, or a real extension if you use pi. Due to token constraints, I am still mostly using soroban from inside Claude Code via the skill interface, which works just fine.
Besides releasing soroban, this week I rethought the broader frame of my dissertation (Dissertation), did more course development (Course development), and hacked through a full stack application deployment on Digital Ocean (Digital Theory Lab). In extra-academic and likely more exciting news, we bike-packed some of the way to Switzerland to catch the opening weekend of the Locarno Film Festival (et alia).
