Notes from building Compound Coders, shipping products using AI, and turning agent output into verified software. The work lives where prompts meet repo memory, recovery habits, and production evidence.

// OPERATING.SYSTEM

Modern AI work needs a repo-shaped system.

The training connects five levers: mindset, accurate prompting, context engineering, evaluation and recovery, and agent-oriented repository organization.

01Raise the turn success before chasing speed
Frame tasks with role, context, constraints, output shape, examples, and acceptance criteria.
02Build repo memory
Move product, workflow, engineering, and shipping memory out of chat so agents stop starting from zero.
03Ship through verified loops
Prototype when the shape is unclear, turn evidence into product direction, then build small checked issues.

How to Setup DeepSeek R1 on TypingMind

Looking to get started with DeepSeek R1, the powerful EU-hosted AI model? In this quick tutorial, I'll show you how to set up and connect DeepSeek R1 with TypingMind's user-friendly interface in just minutes. The video below walks you through creating your API key, configuring the connection, and testing your setup for seamless AI interactions. DeepSeek R1 is provided through kluster.ai, a platform founded in 2024 that democratizes access to AI compute power through a decentralized network of GPU providers. This EU-hosted solution offers excellent performance with lower latency and regulatory compliance. Before you begin, you'll need: - A kluster.ai account: https://dub.sh/klusterai - TypingMind access: https://dub.sh/WGMPH3X Note: While I mention US hosting in the video, the service is actually hosted in the EU.
