Framework Reboot
hoponthestack

I'm rethinking the processes and frameworks behind productivity and operational efficiency in the age of AI. I write about the ideas here, and ship the tools that fall out of them under Framework Reboot.

The log
RELEASE
session-flow 2.0.2: completed work leaves the sequence

Done items leave SEQUENCE.md while their records remain available. The backlog stays shorter as work is finished.

RELEASE
session-flow 2.0.3: only open work in the sequence

Deferred and cancelled work leaves SEQUENCE.md too. The generated backlog contains only open work, and retired identities stay taken.

NOTE
session-flow v2: persistent work items

A Python runtime now manages work records and generates the backlog. The chain has sixteen skills, including a migration path for existing projects.

RELEASE
session-flow 1.7.0: reporters report, callers filter

Review agents now label every finding by confidence instead of quietly dropping the uncertain ones. Two conversational skills join the chain, one agent leaves it, and a backlog can now be shared across repos.

RELEASE
session-flow 2.0.1: migration can start without a work root

Repair can now survey an older backlog before its namespace or work root exists. The plan includes the setup it needs, with no writes until you approve it.

ESSAY
What a discontinued app leaves behind

CommandLane is not shipping. The hardest part of it now stands on its own: a Python sidecar supervised by a Tauri desktop app, published as a template.

ESSAY
Why session-flow is a chain

A Claude Code plugin that writes down the instructions I was otherwise retyping every session.

NOTE
commandlane 0.5 makes agents installable

A changelog note: external agents now install in one click, and you can keep several on hand and switch between them mid-flow.

ESSAY
Operational efficiency is a design problem, not a tooling problem

Most teams already have the tools they need. What they are missing is a shared model of the work.

RELEASE
pmstate 1.0: project state as a first-class primitive

The first stable release. State snapshots are now content-addressed, with a typed schema for work items and a real diff engine.

ESSAY
anvil-bridge and the case for operational glue

The integrations between your tools are where operational knowledge quietly lives, and quietly rots.

NOTE
commandlane joins the Framework Reboot stack

A short note on why a keyboard-first command surface belongs in this family.

ESSAY
Why I'm rebooting the framework

Framework Reboot is a bet that the frameworks I inherited for managing work weren't built for a world with AI in the loop.

RELEASE
anvil-bridge 0.3: typed connectors

Connectors are now fully typed, with retry and backoff on every bridge. One breaking change to the invoke API.

NOTE
commandlane 0.4 ships palette actions

A quick changelog note: the command palette now triggers multi-step actions instead of only navigating.

ESSAY
A matrix for telling whether your productivity system still works

A diagnostic for knowing when a productivity system has quietly stopped serving you, and what to do about it.

ESSAY
Building the Operations layer: a Notion and agents integration (part 1)

Turning the OPERA Operations layer from an idea into a Notion and agents integration you can actually run.

ESSAY
Rethinking PARA: why I added an operations layer

PARA organized my digital life for years. Here is why the arrival of AI meant even a system that good had to grow an operations layer.
