Brian Gomez

I'm a developer and builder who turns the systems I need in my own life into real software — then documents all of it in public. Local-first AI tooling, mobile and web apps, and an AI-native workflow that lets one person ship like a team.

Currently building Crucible, a 91-day discipline app with the structure of a game, and Pantheon, a local-first agentic OS that runs my projects and second brain on my own machines. Operating as Artorias Group LLC.

Stack

Built, not talked about.

The software I actually run my life and work on — designed, built, and shipped by me with an AI-native workflow. These repos are private while they're in active development; the status on each card is the honest one.

Pantheon — the Agent Constellation view: the agent crew orbiting the Oracle, with usage, skills, agents and hooks panels

FastAPI · React · TypeScript · Ollama / LM Studio · PWA

Pantheon

A local-first agentic OS — project pipeline, second brain, and AI harness in one installable app. Raw dumps in, triaged projects out; local models first, cloud keys optional.

Phase 7 in progress
Vulcan — the vault as plain-markdown folders, one per life domain

Markdown vault · Python · Obsidian-compatible · AI agent operated

Vulcan

A lifelong second brain: plain-markdown external memory of what I know, believe, own, and plan — filed, interviewed, and challenged by an AI agent, with every change reasoned in git.

Live, daily use
Ares — the Resource Atlas: every tool on the shelf, grouped by category

TypeScript · Python · Obsidian vault · ~980-tool resource atlas

Ares

A business launchpad and AI knowledge vault — research-grounded venture templates, a stage-then-eject pipeline that births new projects, and a living wiki of tools and AI-industry knowledge.

In development
Avalon — the food diary and the entry review queue on mobile

TypeScript · PWA · Supabase · voice + barcode logging

Avalon

A health-first nutrition tracker: micronutrient-deep tracking, an ingredient-quality lens, and AI-native logging — mobile-first PWA with a native future.

In development

React Native · Expo · Supabase · Android + iOS

Crucible

The flagship: a 91-day discipline program as a game — daily trials, streaks, XP and levels, champion progression. Discipline with the aesthetic of the Coliseum.

In development See the flagship
Envoy — a thumbnail recipe in project.json and the composited thumbnail it produces

PowerShell · Python · yt-dlp / ffmpeg pipelines · DaVinci Resolve

Envoy

The content-operations hub behind this brand — media library, ingest / thumbnail / research pipelines, and per-platform strategy. Resolve is the edit bay; Envoy is everything around it.

Live
Nova — the skill stack: 32 skills, 10 agents, 12 hooks

Node · Claude Code + Codex · 30 skills · agents · hooks

Nova

My AI workspace — the versioned system that defines how every AI harness works for me: a 30-skill stack, delegation agent tiers, guardrail hooks, budget gates, and a live Codex bridge. Single-sourced, drift-checked.

Live, evolving daily
Machine as Code — the Laptop_System repo layout and the clone-then-restore flow

PowerShell · komorebi · Windhawk · YASB · declarative restore

Machine as Code

Both of my Windows machines as repos — tiling-WM desktop, shell mods, power modes, app manifests, and a map-driven backup / restore lane. New machine → clone → restore.

Live

Crucible turns discipline into a 91-day warpath.

My mobile app in development: a habits-accountability platform with the structure of a game, the pressure of a covenant, and the aesthetic of Greco-Roman discipline.

Crucible is being built in the open. No launch-date theatre — just what actually changed, when.

  1. The audit closes on code

    A seven-session security and quality audit finished: every finding fixed and verified, the release gate widened to cover the server tier and the 91-day program clock. What's left is mine to action, not the code's.

  2. An age gate that stores a band, not a birthday

    Onboarding gained an age gate. It records which band you fall into and never the date itself — the less personal data the app holds, the less there is to lose.

  3. 88 findings, all of them about doing less

    A pass aimed only at overengineering: 88 findings closed, abstractions collapsed, and the typecheck gate made trustworthy instead of merely green.

  4. The reward economy lands

    Rewards became a system rather than a scattering of bonuses — decree badges, the companion register, and five families of generated art moving through the pipeline.

  5. Five lanes in one session

    Everything approved the week before, built: the champion progression pivot, the worldbuilding renames, the Oracle rework, and referrals.

The system behind the content.

A private library of frameworks, breakdowns, notes, templates, and mental models across identity, discipline, content, business, and transformation.
