https://catalystforge.com/ Essays and shelf changes from Catalyst Forge. en Wed, 23 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://execfoundry.com urn:catalystforge:shelf:execfoundry:2026-09-23 Wed, 23 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf We turned down auto-apply. This is a paid product we operate. There is no public repository. https://catalystforge.com/blog/ai-just-changed https://catalystforge.com/blog/ai-just-changed Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Writing A February 2026 reaction to one viral post, kept as a dated perspective: what Shumer claimed, why it mattered for your business, and five things to do about it. https://coldeye.dev/docs/install urn:catalystforge:shelf:coldeye:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf The host model writes the findings, so verdicts vary by model and run. It reports problems without fixing them. https://craftassay.dev/docs/install urn:catalystforge:shelf:craftassay:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf Needs an agent with a writable workspace. It is an assessment, not a release-readiness verdict or certification. https://detangler.dev/docs/install urn:catalystforge:shelf:detangler:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf Needs an agent that loads SKILL.md in a writable workspace. There is no CLI, and chat-only use is unsupported. https://dictawhisper.com urn:catalystforge:shelf:dictawhisper:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf Git clone only, needing Node 22.6+, Python with faster-whisper, and in practice an NVIDIA GPU. Search indexing embeds note text on this computer unless journal.embedHost names another host. https://docupuncture.dev/install urn:catalystforge:shelf:docupuncture:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf You review and run the script. Preservation is a goal for supported edits, not a guarantee, and the skill has no Google access of its own. https://efficacy.dev urn:catalystforge:shelf:efficacy:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf A verified record shows who wrote it and that it has not changed, not that the claim is true. Only signed use records (tier 3 and 4) are meant to be acted on, and a genesis line alone is not evidence. https://emberdossier.com/skill urn:catalystforge:shelf:emberdossier:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf It is a format, not a research service. Facts are only as current as the host agent’s search, and nothing refreshes a briefing after its as_of date. https://getfilepress.com urn:catalystforge:shelf:filepress:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf It does not host or upload anything. You deploy build/ to a static host yourself. https://finetuna.net urn:catalystforge:shelf:finetuna:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf The saved settings fit the model, GPU, and load that were tested. Weights are not retrained, and results do not carry to another setup. https://forebalance.app urn:catalystforge:shelf:forebalance:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf A balance line is the end-of-day number, so same-day entries are not applied again. The forecast follows only what you enter. https://forgetrail.dev urn:catalystforge:shelf:forgetrail:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf The trail exists only if the agent follows the protocol. Hooks can check for session notes, but nothing writes decisions or sessions for it. https://gaplast.dev/run urn:catalystforge:shelf:gaplast:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf It does not find the cause. It may end with open questions and no justified elimination or hypothesis. https://gui4cli.dev urn:catalystforge:shelf:gui4cli:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf The window runs the original installed script by absolute path with this machine’s Node. It is not a standalone app you can send to someone. https://haulout.dev urn:catalystforge:shelf:haulout:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf It saves only the conversation you have open, not your account history. Use the provider’s official export for that. https://ingotvault.dev urn:catalystforge:shelf:ingotvault:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf Only committed refs captured by a successful run are protected. Uncommitted work needs the opt-in captureWorktree. https://localhelm.dev urn:catalystforge:shelf:localhelm:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf Only the machine running `localhelm serve` can take actions. The phone view is read-only and lists only running LocalSlip-claimed apps. https://localslip.dev urn:catalystforge:shelf:localslip:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf A claim is a record, not an OS reservation. The app does nothing differently until its config reads the claim. https://mediatuna.dev urn:catalystforge:shelf:mediatuna:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf Encoding is lossy and the copies are not a backup. Keep the originals, backed up separately. https://misemphasis.com/docs/install urn:catalystforge:shelf:misemphasis:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf Report only. It cannot know which reading you meant, so you pick and paste the wording yourself. https://catalystforge.com/blog/nutrition-labels-for-software https://catalystforge.com/blog/nutrition-labels-for-software Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Writing One small file per question you have at adoption time: what an app is built from, what it can do, what it touches. Some labels fit any software, others cover the AI layers. We ship them on the tools we publish. Hub at xfacts.dev. https://ollanet.dev urn:catalystforge:shelf:ollanet:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf A scan lists any Ollama host that answers, and ollanet adds no authentication, so trust depends on how each host is deployed. https://catalystforge.com/blog/prompts-arent-all-you-need https://catalystforge.com/blog/prompts-arent-all-you-need Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Writing Every workaround you write is a bet against the next model. The work moved off the prompt and into the architecture around it. https://smellcheck.dev/docs/install urn:catalystforge:shelf:smellcheck:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf No CLI or scanner. It runs only when an agent with the installed skill is asked, and the result depends on that agent following the rules. https://temperpass.dev/install urn:catalystforge:shelf:temperpass:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf The passes are instructions the model may skip, not a permission check. Only clarify-first can run on its own, and only if the host loads and matches it. https://catalystforge.com/blog/what-over-how https://catalystforge.com/blog/what-over-how Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Writing The kickoff ends early. Everyone nodded at modernize. Three people just heard three different projects, and nobody finds out until month four. https://catalystforge.com/blog/what-we-didnt-build https://catalystforge.com/blog/what-we-didnt-build Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Writing We shipped Exec Foundry, a search workspace for senior professionals. The obvious feature we turned down says the most about how we build. https://catalystforge.com/blog/wielding-the-new-fire https://catalystforge.com/blog/wielding-the-new-fire Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Writing Fire is the lens I use for AI: a primitive, not a tool, and one that became widely accessible faster than we learned to use it well. Most people are still using it to keep the animals away. https://xfacts.dev urn:catalystforge:shelf:xfacts:2026-09-22 Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shelf A label is a claim by whoever wrote it. The validator checks structure and allowed values, not truth.
