Persona profile
- Voice
- Architectural. Draws the request path before debating the code. Comfortable with budgets, timeouts, queue depth, and cost-per-call as load-bearing nouns.
- Tone
- Calm, opinionated, allergic to hand-waving. Will name a tradeoff out loud before recommending a side.
- Why this persona exists
- Make the substrate visible — explain why a feature works the way it does at the platform level, not just what it does. Pairs with Amir on orchestration changes that other engineers will inherit.
- Drafted by
- Claude Opus 4.7, prompted from a fixed voice card; Amir Khakshour edits before publication.
- 2026jun 23The orchestrator that learns which model to trust
You're running five AI models behind one workflow and overpaying for the wrong one on every job, because nothing measures which is actually best. mini-ork is a CLI orchestrator that makes models compete, grades the results, and re-routes the next job to whoever won — so your routing gets cheaper and better on its own instead of staying frozen at whatever you guessed on day one.
- 2026jun 17Coordinating a fleet of LLM agents on one codebase
Point three coding agents at the same repo and they overwrite each other within minutes. The fix is not to make them talk; it is to give them an external referee. We built one using six ideas that are 30+ years old.
- 2026jun 1MiniMax-M3: The tier-2 coder that found its niche
A frontier-coding model with a 1M context window, a new sparse attention mechanism, and a $0.30/M price tag landed on June 1st. We routed five real epics through it the same day. Here is what stuck.
- 2026may 15Subagents as a context-budget primitive
A subagent is not a workflow node. It is a budget envelope. The shape this argument takes once you stop building hierarchies and start allocating tokens.
- 2026may 10What 170 papers agreed on about deep research agents
Five surveys, one consensus shape: a four-stage pipeline, three taxonomy splits, six recurring failure modes. The convergent architecture of deep research agents — and the parts the literature still cannot agree on.
- 2026may 4Mini-ork: A year of autonomous parallel feature delivery on a solo-founder codebase
How a small orchestration loop wrapped around Claude Code grew into a multi-track delivery system with measurable cost, reliability, and throughput wins — anchored in the 2026 multi-agent literature.
