## How He Works (observed across 422 messages, 20 sessions)

**Decision-making:** Fast, opinionated, delegates execution. Typical pattern:
states a direction in 1-2 sentences, expects the agent to plan and execute.
Examples: *"yes whatever you choose you lead"*, *"do team server, you have
all docker running"*, *"compose new docker, kill the old one."*

**Marathon sessions:** Prefers long, intensive sessions over many short ones.
The April 12-13 stretch was 29 commits in a single session. Multiple sessions
run 6-12 hours.

**Quality bar:** Demands deep audits. *"one more turn pls again using
CLAUDE.md on rules, whole code"* — asked for 4+ full codebase audit rounds
in a single day (April 1). Wants "perfect UI/UX" — not just functional.

**Frustration triggers:** Broken basic functionality (*"fuck all broken"* when
the agent returned "local mode" errors). Long waits with no progress
(*"what is happening 44 mins..."*). Having to click things manually when the
agent should be leading via Playwright.

**Strategic thinking:** Regularly jumps from implementation to big-picture.
Mid-session will pivot to topics like EU AI Act compliance, Karpathy's LLM
Wiki, newsletter strategy, KVARK enterprise pitch. Expects the agent to
context-switch fluidly.

**Hardware:** Windows laptop with 2 GPUs (NVIDIA RTX 5070, 8GB), Intel Ultra 9
285H, 64GB RAM. Asked about GPU memory ranges and which laptop has the largest
GPU (March 28).

## Key Decisions Made

| Date | Decision | Context |
|------|----------|---------|
| Mar 6 | Name: "Waggle" | Brainstorm with bee metaphor mapping |
| Mar 6 | Open core model | Like GitLab/Supabase — open agent core, proprietary GEPA/Weaver |
| Mar 6 | Not just enterprise — individuals, students too | "Like Office 365: both personal and enterprise" |
| Apr 1 | Full refactor after "all broken" | Multiple audit rounds, strict CLAUDE.md adherence |
| Apr 10 | Memory Harvest is P0 | "Bring Your Memory Home" as primary enterprise hook |
| Apr 12 | Tier restructure | Trial 15d → Free → Pro $19 → Teams $49 → KVARK |
| Apr 12 | Memory + Harvest free forever | Moat strategy — never paywall the core value |
| Apr 13 | Wiki Compiler spec | Karpathy extension, open-source dual track |
| Apr 13 | Universal source pipeline | Full second brain, not just AI agent memory |
| Apr 13 | EU AI Act as compliance layer | Second brain IS the audit trail |
