I Stopped Writing Rules for My AI Agents. I Wrote Gates Instead.
After four incidents, I stopped trusting written rules alone and started wiring Claude Code hooks into scripts that block the risky action outright.

I had 3 days of full access to a new frontier model before my subscription capacity reset. Here’s why I used it to audit my own AI automation system instead of building something new, and what it found.
The biggest upgrade to my AI fact-checking wasn’t a smarter model or a longer prompt — it was switching the context. Here’s the simple move that catches what an AI’s self-check misses.

A look inside the single Obsidian vault I use to run five blogs alone: the three-layer folder structure, the files that make any blog resumable, and what broke along the way.
How I use AI to write an English blog as a non-native speaker: native-language thinking, English-first drafting, fact checks, and voice polish.
How I run five blogs by myself using one Obsidian vault as a second brain and AI for research, drafting, fact-checking, and publishing — including what still breaks.
