Engineer. Maker. Builder.

Making AI-assisted software development more reliable.

I build software, explore agentic engineering workflows and share what works, what fails and why.

the problem

My agent had my workflow and still skipped steps. The more rules and context I added, the less consistently it followed them.

Start over
Open a new session and let the agent work it out again.
Patch it
Keep growing an instruction file, keep notes, paste summaries into the next session.
Build it into the workflow
Give each step its own setup and carry what was learned into the next session.

nemonik · the workflow layer for coding agents

Give coding agents a repeatable workflow, the right tools for each step and the context to continue where the last session left off.

I'm building nemonik around the third approach. It breaks the workflow into kits, one per step, each with its own system prompt, skills, MCP servers and hooks, so the agent only gets what that step needs.

taskboard-demo · a real nemonik run
  • > Kits. A system prompt, skills, MCP servers and hooks, tied together by a workflow.
  • > Workflows. The steps in order and which skills to use. A workflow can start the next kit: you run the plan kit, approve the plan and the build kit opens in a new session on its own, then runs the review kit automatically when it's done.
  • > Memory. A running memory, journal and status that carry what each session learned into the next, in files in your repo or in nemonik's hosted store.

Use Claude Code or Codex every day? Try nemonik on one real ticket.

Run one ticket your usual way and one with a kit and compare.

With the MCP, your kits, context and memory live in one place you can share, your agents search it by meaning and you can reach it from Claude or GPT on your phone.
