Tools

Instruments from our own chart room.

We build small tools to do our own work better, then publish them. Take them, adapt them, tell us where they fall short.

- Underway: still changing
- Stable: finished, kept in working order

## Open source — Take them, adapt them

### Roundtable

Prompts and personas for structured, multi-expert deliberation with any AI assistant. You set the panel; each critic reads the work from its own position, and the session ends with where they agree and where they do not.
