What do you need for UCP? There are two levels of UCP readiness. The first is the minimum viable manifest — the bare requirements to pass validation and appear in the UCP directory. The second is the agent-ready setup — what it actually takes for an AI agent to browse, cart, and check out at your store without friction. Think of this as your UCP checklist — the minimum requirements plus the recomm
How I Built a Bitcoin-Only Digital Store (No Stripe, No PayPal) What happened when I deleted my payment processor and embraced financial sovereignty I still remember the day Stripe froze my account. A client disputed a $200 payment and before I could even respond, my entire balance was locked. Three weeks of emails. Two verification requests. And ultimately, a 30-day hold while they "investigate
When you build a PowerShell project from multiple files, the natural structure is clear: enums first, then classes, then functions. Each group has its own place, and as long as dependencies only flow in one direction, that structure works perfectly. But sometimes a function depends on a class, and that class calls the function. There is no longer a clean boundary between the two groups — they need
The drift problem nobody told you about If you have used Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, or any other AI coding agent across more than two projects, you have felt this: You start project A. You copy the .agents/ folder (or CLAUDE.md, or .cursorrules) from your last project. You tweak two things. Done. You start project B six weeks later. You copy from project A. You tweak three things this time. Now
Cross-posted from the Stigmem blog. Today we're releasing stigmem v1.0: A stable, open-source specification and reference implementation for a federated knowledge fabric for AI agents. Stigmem = Stigmergy + Memory. Stigmergy (Greek stigma — mark; ergon — work) is the coordination mechanism you see in ant colonies and termite mounds: agents don't communicate directly with each other. Instead, they
More rules should mean better output. That's the intuition. I spent weeks building a comprehensive CLAUDE.md — 200 lines covering naming conventions, security rules, error handling, architectural patterns, import ordering, type safety requirements, and more. I was proud of it. I'd thought through every scenario. Then I scored the output. 79.0 / 100. My carefully crafted documentation was actively
"OK, I understand the RPS formula. But is our RPS — actually — high or low compared to our industry?" Right after I published the RPS-definition guide last week, this was the most common question I got back from EC operators. They want to know where they sit, not just how to compute the number. Knowing your RPS is $1.20 means nothing if you don't know whether that's the industry median, the top qu
I run a flower shop in Munich and recently migrated my entire e-commerce setup to Medusa v2. The shop, the One thing that was completely missing: a connection to Lexware Office, which is the most popular accounting software So I built LexBridge - an open-source Medusa v2 plugin that automates the entire invoicing workflow. What it does When a customer places an order, the plugin: Looks up the cust
