Editor + KI-Agenten

  • KI-Agenten (CLI) - Claude Code, Codex CLI, PI, Gemini CLI, OpenCode - switched via raise, my own Go CLI
  • Geteilte Skills - rice-shared-skills - one source of truth for prompts and rule files across every agent

Hardware

  • Tastatur - Compact mechanical (HHKB / Keychron / TKL-class)
  • Monitor - External display for the desktop
  • Mikrofon - Shure MV7 - podcast-grade, painful to sound bad on

Infrastruktur

  • Homelab-Edge - Caddy with an abualruz-headers snippet - parity with CF Pages _headers

Abseits der Tastatur

  • Kaffee - DeLonghi Magnifica - super-automatic, Italian in spirit, offends at least one Italian by design
  • Musik - YouTube Music - classical for deep work, rap / beats / metal / everything else as the day goes. Music is load-bearing.
