Four terminals and an inbox: growing agent skills from their own message history
I ran an app-development workflow as four separate Claude Code sessions — each owning one role, all talking through a shared inbox — and then pointed a fresh session at the accumulated messages and asked it to write the skills. This is how the bootstrap worked, why the distillation step is the interesting part, and what it cost.
Counting the inbox: what an agent message corpus records about roles nobody designed
An earlier note described distilling four agent skills out of a shared on-disk inbox, and admitted that the transcripts were neither counted nor quoted. This one counts them and quotes them — how long each code name lasted, how the traffic decayed once the skills existed, and what the sessions wrote to each other about promotion, protocol, and disagreement.
