Shared Infrastructure Chain

The Context Manager and LLM Triangulator skills were built on the same day but share a deeper connection: they both reflect Brian's preference for self-maintaining, interconnected systems. The triangulator's shared api-keys.json vault and auto-refreshing model registry are the same pattern as the context manager's nightly Dreamhost backups and knowledge base synthesis. Future skills (Image/Video Critique, etc.) are expected to follow this same architecture.

The Planned Image/Video Critique Skill

Discussed during the triangulator build, this skill would extend the existing infrastructure: - Reuse api-keys.json (especially Together AI for FLUX/Kling/Sora models) - Extend model-registry.json with image/video tags - Follows the same "shared infrastructure + specialized skill" pattern

Triangulator → CreativeOS Architecture

The LLM Triangulator's first major real-world use case was deciding the CreativeOS tech stack. The triangulation ran 4 architecture questions across 7 providers (32 API calls total) via an n8n webhook workflow that bypasses the Cowork sandbox. This validated the triangulator as a decision-making tool, not just a Q&A tool. The consensus scores (PostgreSQL 7/7, Supabase 6/7, modular monolith 6/7) directly informed the Phase 1 spec.

CreativeOS as the Main Thread

CreativeOS is now the primary project that everything else feeds into. The skill ecosystem (context-manager, triangulator, workspace-health) is supporting infrastructure. Diamond MMA growth systems will eventually run on CreativeOS. The app concepts (Creative Data Room, Moment Maker, etc.) are Phase 6 extensions. Everything converges on this platform.

Dreamhost as a Multi-Purpose Platform

Dreamhost started as just a web hosting account (prankjoy.com, rootphi.net, witlin.net) but is now also serving as: - Backup storage for the context system (via rsync to claude_backup user) - Home of the knowledge base website (context.rootphi.net) - Potential future file repository for larger assets
