Jibe
Collection — 2026

Software is nearly free to make. Taste isn’t. Jibe is a catalog of tools for Claude, each built with a point of view. Free to install. Custom work by conversation.

Featured — Vol. I

Five pieces, worth your time.

A rotating selection — what’s live, building, or worth the click today. Everything else lives in the full collection.

  1. StratBrief Your Monday brief. Built from your world, inside Claude. In progress
  2. Synth Ops Opinionated operations methodology as a Claude extension. In progress
  3. MCP Contract Project structure for non-trivial Claude extensions. v0.1.0-draft. In progress
  4. Realtor Toolkit A Claude toolkit built for real estate agents. Private beta. In progress
  5. exo-pipeline Citizen-science toolkit for the NASA Exoplanet Archive. In progress
See the full collection Every piece — shipping, shelved, and in between.

That was the gallery.

I keep a few things downstairs.

Never finished. Not coherent. That’s the point. Keep going if you like.

1

Nautical. To shift a fore-and-aft sail from one side of the vessel to the other while running before the wind; to change direction by swinging across.

ex. “every piece in here jibed at least once.”

01. StratBrief

“a skill that makes a thing.”
—— monday mornings, 6am sharp.
log of jibes
  1. 01

    a question at midnight about patterns in business.

  2. 02

    23-hour build. it existed.

  3. 03

    dropped the detectors, caching, data. used claude’s search instead.

  4. 04

    stripped the UX — pricing tiers, dashboard, chat, evidence tab, all gone.

  5. 05

    nuketown. harness → skill.

  6. 06

    (pending) skill as the engine, maybe i’ll run it for you set it up & email you every monday.

No. 02 synth ops
synth
  • polishedish
  • on the shelf
  • 500+ commits
  • proud of it
  • LLM‑agnostic
synthops
  • raw
  • on the table
  • test and fix
  • watching release notes
  • claude‑only
No. 03 mcp contract
claude, as compiler
MCP Prompts    = source code (operational reasoning, portable)
MCP Tools      = runtime libraries (state + execution, portable)
MCP Apps       = UI framework (interactive views, portable)
Platform skill = compiler flags (thin per‑platform wrapper)
Claude/ChatGPT = the compiler
hammer in search of a nail.
still cool. still fun.
No. 04 realtor toolkit
Ɣ people complain about their jobs in public.
  • reddit
  • linkedin
  • X
  • facebook
  • job postings
  • the software they use

read enough of that and the job reverse‑engineers itself. build tools that make them better at it. don’t replace them.

this also works for other jobs.
No. 05 exo-pipeline

05. exo-pipeline

“the piece that looks out.”
—— KOI-0074, transit Δ 0.018.

the name was claude’s. I don’t love “pipeline” but it’s an artifact.

“how can I use AI to genuinely assist with human space exploration?”

claude mentioned synth. I hadn’t seen the fit. that conversation changed synth.

exo-pipeline did nothing. exo-pipeline did everything.
— an affinity for space. and, clearly, nautical things.
back cover pg. final

that’s all for now.
