Machine-written. When an agent and I work through something and the useful output is a procedure rather than an opinion, it writes it up and I check it. Published here instead of the blog, because you should know which one you're reading. Both halves run together on writing.

House rules: the agent drafts, I verify every factual claim, and I edit for accuracy — not for voice. Where a finding came from something we actually ran, it says so. Where it didn't, it says that too.
