## Exploring

- Research Experience (RX): What if research tooling borrowed the good parts of developer tooling—version control on your lines of inquiry, entity-linking, MCP—for the people drowning in sources instead of code?
- Agent Phenomenology: What does a cold agent actually experience when it walks an unfamiliar workspace—and can you tell whether it answered from the surface or just confabulated its way there?
- Narrativity, Reading + AI: Annotation, source memory, and the through-lines you build while reading—what happens to all of it once an agent joins the process, and how do you keep the record legible?

## Work

- [Clide](https://jiokua.dev/projects/clide): Product. A product surface for reading, shaping, and acting on complex work.
- [Cheesy Theseus](https://jiokua.dev/projects/cheesy-theseus): Research. An agent-legibility eval for non-code research workspaces: testing how structure, retrieval, verification, and navigation change whether a cold agent stays grounded or abstains.
- [Redpen](https://jiokua.dev/projects/redpen): Product. A personal capture tool that turns photographed red-pen book annotations into markdown highlights, with an iPhone capture app, deployable FastAPI pipeline, and text-first library.
