Cloning the Durable Half of a Support-Page Generator on VicroCode
A build debrief: hosted compliance pages, a hand-editable SQLite feedback ledger, and an agent-callable register endpoint — minus the email piece, which isn't ours to run.

Practical guides
The glue around the model is the real product: building an AI workspace you actually own
Independent builders keep rebuilding the same layer around AI models: prompt templates, model routing, result history, retries. Here is how to ship that layer on confirmed VicroCode pieces.
The router mess is a design lesson: own your tool-calling layer
Outages, throttling, and shady middlemen keep breaking LLM apps. A look at what to own yourself, and how to build a thin, honest tool-calling backend on VicroCode.
Don't Trust the Agent's Auto Mode: Building an Editable Approval Gate With a SQLite Decision Log
A build debrief on replacing an agent's built-in auto-approval with a small policy engine that classifies each tool call, logs every decision, and holds risky ones for a human.
Give your coding agent a profile you can edit, not one it quietly infers
A V2EX thread showed an agent auto-summarizing a developer's habits into a profile. Here's a build debrief on making that profile a human-owned artifact instead.
Ditching context compaction: an agent that keeps its working memory in editable SQLite records
A build debrief on swapping session-history compaction for a queryable context store: live SQLite records the agent revises via transactions, retired items pushed to a vector store.
Making an Agent's Wait Stop Being a Black Box: A Live Tool-Call Status Board
A dev wished he could see which tool his model was calling during long waits. Here's a reproducible Python + hosted HTML board that streams thinking vs tool state.
Building a Token Cost Tracker Before You Commit to an Agent Harness
Caijing's Aug 2024 test showed domestic subscriptions burning quotas in days. Build a Python monitor that logs cache rates and per-task burn before choosing a harness.
Building a Python Browser Automation Agent with Full DOM Action Logging
A reproducible approach to browser automation: parse user intent, execute Playwright commands, and write every DOM action to SQLite for audit and replay.
