Personal AI Operating Site 1-day Prototype
A one-day prototype cycle: single-page HTML prototype, external evaluation, design system extraction, then an Astro scaffold — measuring whether the result reads as a knowledge product.
#prototype#knowledge-product
- Hypothesis
- A personal site can read as a knowledge product, not a portfolio.
- Tool / setup
- Fable 5 · Astro — single-page prototype → external evaluation → DESIGN.md → Astro scaffold
- Result state
- running
- Next iteration
- Compare the v0.2 scaffold against acceptance criteria; fix whatever still feels portfolio-ish.
Hypothesis
A personal site can read as a knowledge product, not a portfolio.
Setup
Single-page HTML prototype built in one day, evaluated externally against a rubric, distilled into DESIGN.md v1.0, then rebuilt as an Astro scaffold.
What I tried
- v0.1: standalone HTML prototype with typed cards and an AI-readable section.
- External evaluation produced a top-5 revision list (boundary card, start path, typed card structure, agent read path, mobile menu).
- v0.2: Astro scaffold implementing the revision list.
Result
In progress — the v0.2 scaffold is being validated against the acceptance criteria.
Next iteration
Compare the v0.2 scaffold against acceptance criteria; fix whatever still feels portfolio-ish.
