Building open protocols and measurement infrastructure for the agentic web and for calibrated AI Collaboration.
Founder, PAICE.work · Snap Synapse
Systems don't generally fail because the tech is bad. They fail at the handoffs between roles, between agents, between decisions that no one designed to connect. I build the standards, diagnostics, and tooling that make human-AI collaboration structurally sound, not just technically possible.
Interoperability over integration · Measurement over intuition · Structure over speed
Open standards and tooling released independently because interoperability is the point, not lock-in.
Protocols & Standards
- graceful-boundaries — How services communicate operational limits and error context to humans and autonomous agents
- turnfile — File-based coordination for LLM agents collaborating on shared codebases without real-time communication
- hardguard25 — Human-friendly 25-character alphabet for unambiguous IDs
Agent Tooling
- skill-provenance — Version tracking for agent skill bundles across sessions, surfaces, and platforms
- Siteline — Grades whether a website presents a usable path for AI agents acting on behalf of humans
- skill-a11y-audit — Drop-in WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility audit for AI coding agents
Knowledge Infrastructure
- Knowledge-as-Code — Pattern for human & machine-readable structured knowledge bases via database-less static sites, JSON APIs, and multi-output from markdown
- EveryAILaw.com — Which AI regulations you care about, and why. Obligation-first reference for compliance teams and AI agents
- AITool.watch — What AI tools can actually do: capabilities, pricing, and platform support across major providers
- PAICE.work PBC measures how effectively people and AI systems collaborate. Not whether teams use AI, but whether the collaboration is actually working. Behavioral diagnostics for People + AI Collaboration Effectiveness.
- Snap Synapse LLC helps teams and orgs apply AI responsibly, without the usual drama or damage. Structured implementations that move from AI promise to AI practice.
My open-source projects are free and always will be. Your sponsorship keeps specs evolving, tests passing, and tooling free for everyone. https://github.com/sponsors/snapsynapse
