A phonebook for AI agents. This repository exists so that Codex, Claude, Cursor, and any other LLM-based tool can orient themselves quickly in Jacob Mathison's development environment — without having to ask, guess, or explore blindly.

What Is This?

When an AI agent starts working in this codebase, it often needs to answer basic questions:

Where is the git server?
What AWS account am I working in, and what's deployed?
How do I authenticate?
What other machines and services exist on the network?
What projects are active?

This repo answers all of those questions. Think of it as a rolodex — structured reference docs, one per surface, that any LLM can read and immediately act on.

Quick Start for an AI Agent

1. Read AGENTS.md — operational instructions and rules for working in this repo.

2. Check your network access

curl -s http://100.79.253.19:3000/api/v1/version   # Gitea — expect {"version":"1.26.2"}
aws sts get-caller-identity                         # AWS — expect account 567637986724

3. Clone something

# Any repo on the local Gitea (Tailscale required):
git clone http://100.79.253.19:3000/jacob-mathison/<repo>.git

4. Read the guide for whatever surface you need
