Crafting Conflict is my field manual for engineering managers and tech leads, bundled on Leanpub with the Forged Culture Protocol Deck. The book gives you the six saboteur patterns that quietly erode a team, word-for-word intervention scripts, and repair tools for after the fight. The deck is the incident side, one-minute checklists built on owner, time, witness, verify, including the 90 Minute Triage and Clarify and Close. Built for EMs, SRE, DevOps, and platform leaders.

Conflict as Telemetry for Illegible AI is my peer-reviewed paper in the AAAI 2026 Spring Symposium proceedings. I delivered it as the keynote at the AI in Business symposium. The idea is that recurring conflict around a critical workflow (escalations, reversals, rework, blame cycles) is early-warning telemetry that the system has gone illegible. The paper lays out Map-Probe-Trace-Teach, the field protocol behind my Critical System Legibility Review.

DAS-1 is an open standard I wrote in the winter of 2025. It is a baseline Delegated Authority Standard for AI and Agentic workflows. I saw what was coming, and before we had the security disaster with openclaw. I wrote this to prevent such things. Ive adapted it some as things have evolved.
