Komatik

The main thing. A marketplace where developers use AI to move faster, and clients pay for real judgment instead of software theater.
Komatik is the main thing I am building.
The short version: clients should be able to describe the software they need in normal language, AI should do the annoying first-pass work, and real developers should still own the judgment-heavy parts.
I do not want it to feel like a marketplace where everyone pretends a prompt is a finished product. The whole point is to make the human correction visible instead of hiding it behind a shiny demo.
What Exists Now
- An intake flow that turns messy requests into a structured work brief.
- A background estimate path that prices the work without making the client stare at internal machinery.
- An 8-stage prebuild pipeline: orchestrator, BOM, chassis, wiring, engine context, engine generate, engine review, and verify.
- A developer workspace with the agent, live preview, project health checks, variable dictionary, delivery review, and intervention logging.
- A knowledge flywheel that records what humans fixed so the next first draft gets better.
The scale is not imaginary anymore. The platform has hundreds of database migrations, dozens of Edge Functions, and a pile of pipeline hardening work that only exists because the system has been tested against real messy project shapes.
The Loop I Keep Coming Back To
- Someone describes what they need.
- The system turns the mess into a work brief.
- Agents build the first pass.
- A developer checks what is real, what is broken, and what needs taste.
- The finished work teaches the next build.
That last piece is the part I care about most. A good fix should not disappear into the void. It should make the next first draft better.
Craft Score
Craft Score is the number I keep circling back to because it measures the part everyone usually hides: where human judgment actually changed the AI output.
If an agent makes a pass and a developer has to reshape the architecture, fix the auth boundary, replace a fake integration, or add missing tests, that intervention matters. Komatik should remember it. The next generated project should come in closer because someone already paid the learning cost.
What Feels Alive
- The request flow works.
- The prebuild pipeline exists and is weirdly capable.
- The developer workspace has an agent, health checks, previews, and delivery review.
- The Craft Score idea still feels right: measure where human judgment actually changed the result.
- The product orbit around Komatik is starting to make sense: Trace for audits, Pack for tools, Slipstream for intent, Lodge for workspace feel, and Base Camp for autonomous ops.
Why It Belongs Here
This is not here as a pitch deck. It is here because Komatik is the big machine on the desk, and a lot of the smaller projects around it are either tools for the machine or sparks that taught me something about how the machine should feel.
