Agent Stack Architecture — Six Layers of grainworks

grainworks | architecture | agents | portfolio

A 1-page visual architecture map of the grainworks agent stack: orchestration, memory, tool mesh, evaluation, pipelines, and delivery. Every component we’ve built lives in one layer.

Audio Lighting Sim v2

Blumat Automatic Watering — Research

research | gardening | sensors | iot

Research into Blumat automatic watering systems for garden and greenhouse applications — pressure-regulated drip irrigation driven by soil moisture sensors.

Status: Research

Flipoff

web | interactive | css | fun

An interactive web project — CSS, JS, and a big screenshot. No deep purpose, just craft.

Grain Seed Connection

Research into Blumat automatic watering systems — clay cone technology that waters plants on their own terms, no electricity required. Working with the grain of the soil.

Status: Research

Grain Tracker

A live project dashboard for the Grainworks workshop — a single visual reference for every project, its files, status, and next actions.

Grainworks LoRa Mesh

hardware | lora | meshtastic | kicad | iot

A two-component Meshtastic-based system for off-grid rural property coverage — Grain Tag (personal) and Grain Hub (home base).

Josh.ai — ELV Dealer Research

research | smart-home | josh-ai | voice-control

Comprehensive research dossier on the Josh.ai voice control platform for ELV (Electronic Lifestyles) dealer integration.

Status: Research

Josh.ai + Hermes Agent Relay

A lightweight HTTP relay that bridges Josh.ai scenes to Hermes Agent — converts plain GET requests from Josh’s httpget() Custom Command into authenticated POST calls for the Hermes webhook system.

Memory Architecture Research

research | memory | agents

Research into agentic memory systems — comparing Sibyl Memory (LongMemEval #2) against Holographic for offline, local-first Hermes Agent deployments.

Status: Research

Organizational Orchestrator — Multi-Agent Routing System

grainworks | agents | orchestration | hermes-agent

A multi-agent orchestration framework that routes requests across 19 domain-specialized agents with intent classification, context passing, and two-stage verification.

Pocket Recorder — v0.5 Hardware Proto

hardware | audio | esp32 | proto

A bare-PCB voice recorder with a slider switch. Slide on to record a meeting, slide off to stop. USB-C powered, WiFi sync to Hermes for transcription and note extraction.

Status: Prototype

Post-WWII Tech Boom — Economic Research

research | economics | history | technology

Analysis of the post-WWII technology boom — how wartime R&D investment shaped the consumer technology landscape, and lessons for today.

Status: Research

RadarTV — Raspberry Pi RF-to-Composite Video Broadcast

hardware | raspberry-pi | video | radar | c | embedded

A C-based composite video generator that reads aviation radar data and renders it as PAL/NTSC video output from a Raspberry Pi — direct RF to analog TV.

Status: Prototype

Sibyl vs Holographic — Memory at the Grain

memory | agents | hermes | comparison | research

Side-by-side evaluation of Sibyl Memory and Holographic as agentic memory providers for Hermes Agent — architecture, tradeoffs, and the verdict.

Status: Research

SOUL.md — Trait Analysis & Personality System

ai | personality | research | experimental

An experimental framework for composing AI agent personas — trait vectors, archetype blending, and multi-agent personality systems.

Status: Research

SOUL.md Library

shipped | open-source

A library of portable agent persona files — reusable souls for AI systems that should behave with identity, taste, and conviction.

StatBar — Native macOS System Monitor

A native macOS floating system monitor — CPU, GPU, Memory, Network, Disk, and Ollama models, all config-driven with a Hermes MCP interface.

Tiny Hermes Robot

hardware | robot | esp32 | iot | ai

A ‘dumb client’ robot design — all intelligence lives on the Hermes backend. ESP32-S3, camera, motors, LoRa fallback.

Vaultwarden Migration & Security Assessment

security | vaultwarden | rust | docker | infrastructure

Evaluating, migrating, and hardening a self-hosted Vaultwarden instance — including alternative password management strategies.
