workflow
workflow
Tools and habits that keep projects reproducible, debuggable and easy to resume.
Reproducible setup

Markdown-first documentation
Searchable setup notes, commands and short architecture decisions.
checks I use often
- Make inputs, outputs and destructive boundaries explicit.
- Get one end-to-end path working before expanding.
- Record progress so long jobs can resume safely.
- Keep changing configuration separate from code.
