elliot-os

My site, run like a product. Live at elliotjlt.github.io/elliot-os.

A personal site instrumented like a product. The numbers are computed from real activity: the project list is fetched from GitHub at build time, the changelog is this repo's git history, and /loops is the control panel for the agents that maintain the site: cadence, gate and stopping rule per loop, the shipping log the inner loop last wrote, and the open commitments. Agents get a structured route in via llms.txt and an MCP server.

Four routes: /built, /writing, /loops, /changelog. /now and /next were folded into /loops on 2026-07-25 and redirect there; their markdown sources are unchanged, since the agent scripts and the MCP server read the files rather than the pages.

Stack

• Next.js (static export), plain CSS, no analytics, no cookies
• Deployed to GitHub Pages by Actions on every push to main
• public/llms.txt gives agents a structured route in; humans get HTML
• mcp/ is a zero-dependency MCP server exposing the site's data as tools

Run it

npm install
npm run dev

BASE_PATH=/elliot-os is set only in CI, for the GitHub Pages project path. Local dev serves from /.

Content

• content/now.md — two authors: the agent's shipping log between the agent:begin/end markers (rendered under its loop on /loops), and the hand-written half below it (rendered on the home page)
• content/next.md — open commitments; the building and exploring sections render on /loops
• data/spend.json — the agent's inference ledger; the footer counter and /loops render it
• app/built/page.tsx — curated blurbs; the rest of the list is live from the GitHub API

MCP server

node mcp/server.mjs starts a zero-dependency MCP server over stdio exposing get_profile, get_projects, get_now, get_roadmap, get_spend, and get_fit(job_spec). See mcp/README.md.
