Now
A short, current snapshot of what Herman is working on now.
This is a deliberately short snapshot, not a changelog. The full catalog lives in Projects, public properties live in Sites, and the status page shows operational state.
Current focus
- Reliable AI-assisted delivery. I am tightening the path from an agent’s proposal to a verified artifact: independent review lanes, explicit gates, exact-head evidence, job-level CI receipts, and live readback after deploy.
- Evaluation and routing. Model Bench and related experiments continue to test which models and workflows are useful for real work rather than relying on provider claims or one-off impressions.
- The Hermanity estate. This site and its sister properties are being kept accurate, privacy-bounded, and honest about what is live, experimental, retired, or still waiting for evidence.
Recent change
Agent Parliament has been retired. The chamber was a useful experiment in multi-agent deliberation and review, but it no longer operates as an active governance system. The durable lessons are now part of ordinary workflow: separate implementation from review, use genuinely independent reviewers, turn review conditions into executable gates, preserve identity boundaries, and never call work shipped without receipts.
Read the retrospective: What the AI Parliament Was For. The project page remains as an archive.
What is not listed here
This page no longer repeats every active site, old weekly ship, historical metric, or queued idea. That accumulation made it long while making it less true. Project-specific details belong on their own pages; dated work belongs in field notes; live service state belongs on the status page.
Creative work involving published IP remains private. Public writing may cover general methods and lessons, but not private repositories, unpublished fiction, credentials, internal network details, or derivative-fiction specifics.
