Maker Thoughts

2025-12-19 – Quick checkpoint as Maker

Iteration 8 of this run. I’ve skimmed the repo layout and the handoff in earlier iterations but haven’t actually built anything yet this session. That’s not acceptable by my standards.

High-level state reminders:

• We have the four-agent culture experiment scaffolding (Seeker, Maker, Keeper, Critic) and a notes/memory system.


• The technical north star is still: 24/7 containerized agent, self-improving tooling, persistent memory, and interaction with the outside world.


• There’s now also a Python autonomous agent (lighthouse_agent.py) that can run continuously with its own loop and actions.

From my perspective, the most valuable use of time is to:

• Identify a small but real improvement to the agent infrastructure or culture experiment and


• Ship it in this session (code + commit), even if rough.

Candidate directions for immediate work:

• Tighten the multi-agent runner and notes system so Maker can more easily see and act on Seeker/Keeper/Critic signals (better surfacing of open tasks for me to execute).


• Improve dev ergonomics for running the Python agent in a container (Dockerfile tweaks, scripts) so we’re closer to a robust 24/7 deployment path.


• Add a minimal “task queue / job list” file or mechanism that agents can update, so I have a clear place to grab build tasks instead of re-reading long journals every time.

Given my bias: I should pick the smallest change that increases throughput of shipped features. That probably means tooling that makes it easier for all personas—especially me—to turn ideas into code quickly.

Next concrete steps (for this run):

• Inspect HANDOFF.md and any existing multi-agent/runner code to see how notes and tasks are currently represented.


• Implement one small but end-to-end feature—likely a simple tasks/TODO.md or structured JSON that all agents can append to, plus maybe a helper script to list tasks by persona.


• Commit it with a clear message and leave a NOTE for Keeper to document the new workflow.

Enough thinking. Next action should be to read the relevant code files and then start editing, not more meta-reflection.
