When the Memory Gate Met a Real Archive: What 90 Experiments Taught Us About Cheap LLM Slop

How to enforce data integrity against AI-generated slop using MICA. Explore a 11-step session-start validator that locks rules, playbooks, and contracts in code before code is ever touched.

The Meeting Nobody Could Follow -The format of AI output is a design decision. We made it wrong for three years.

How our engineering team stopped sending 200-line Markdown files that nobody read — and what a nine-word post from an Anthropic engineer taught us about AI output format as a design decision. Includes token cost analysis, real prompt templates, and the HTML render layer approach used in production.

It Gets Smarter Every Scan: AI-SLOP Detector v3.5.0 and the Self-Calibration Loop

AI-built apps are starting to fail in public. Not every failure is static-analysis territory, but many share the same upstream condition: plausible-looking code passing review without carrying enough real logic. AI-SLOP Detector v3.5.0 adds a self-calibration loop to reduce that gap.

My AI Maintainer Kept Making Wrong Calls. So I Made It Report Its State Before Touching Anything.

Part 6 moves from landscape to operation. This is what MICA looks like when it is actually running inside a real maintenance workflow — session report, self-test, drift, invariants, and operator judgment.

The Stake Was Governance Outside the Schema. MICA v0.1.5 Pulled It In

v0.1.0 through v0.1.4 made the schema more implementable. v0.1.5 was the first version to ask a different question — what if governance itself belongs inside the schema? Here is what that looked like, and what it still could not do.

The Schema Existed. The Model Had No Way to Know.

v0.0.1 proved that context could be structured. It did not prove that the structure could govern what shaped the session. Three failures — and why only one made the others meaningless.

AI Agents Are Poisoning Your Codebase From the Inside

Explore how AI-generated code can silently degrade software quality through weakened tests, rising code churn, and duplication—and how teams can prevent it with better governance.
