Building open infrastructure for human-AI collaboration. Founder & CEO, PAICE.work · President, Snap Synapse
AI adoption breaks at the seams between roles, decisions, and operating models. I build measurement frameworks, open protocols, and agent tooling that make collaboration between humans and AI systems structurally sound — not just technically possible.
Current focus: PAICE behavioral diagnostics for People+AI Collaboration Effectiveness.
Open standards and tooling released independently from PAICE because interoperability is the point, not lock-in.
Protocols & specifications
| Project | What it does |
|---|---|
| graceful-boundaries | Spec for how services communicate operational limits and error context to humans and autonomous agents |
| turnfile | File-based protocol for LLM agents to collaborate on shared codebases without real-time communication |
| hardguard25 | 25-character alphabet for human-friendly unique IDs — like Crockford Base32 minus 11 confusable characters |
Agent skills
| Project | What it does |
|---|---|
| skill-provenance | Metaskill for version-tracking agent skill bundles across sessions, surfaces, and platforms |
| skill-a11y-audit | Drop-in WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility audit for Claude Code, Codex, and other AI coding agents |
Knowledge as Code
| Project | What it does |
|---|---|
| Knowledge as Code | Pattern and template for building structured knowledge bases that generate static sites, JSON APIs, and multi-output from markdown |
| Every AI Law | Which AI regulations you likely care about, and why. Structured, obligation-first reference for compliance teams, legal counsel, and AI agents. |
| AI Tool Watch | Plain-English reference for what AI tools can actually do — capabilities, pricing, and platform support across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and more |
| Virtual Meeting Reference | Structured reference tracking capabilities across 22 virtual meeting and classroom platforms |
Tools & contributions
