Every page of this site has a markdown twin — the same content as the HTML,
no navigation chrome, with prices and booking URLs resolved to literal text.
Twins are generated at build time from the HTML source of truth. This file
is the index; each entry links a twin.

## Pages

- [Home](https://silou.dev/index.md): Senior dev & tech lead. I help teams that already pay for Claude Code get real production leverage from it — by building the harness around the model, on your setup, in real time.
- [Sessions & pricing](https://silou.dev/sessions.md): Hands-on AI working sessions on your own Claude Code setup. Individual rates published; teams and companies, let's talk. Book a session.
- [Approach — how I work & how I earn your trust](https://silou.dev/approach.md): Practitioner, not influencer. I prove competence live on your screen (screen-share, no access needed), work my method in the open, and frame production experience honestly — no hype metrics, no name-dropping.
- [Lab — what I'm working on](https://silou.dev/lab.md): Work in progress: an open-source Claude Code observability instrument, a personal knowledge hub, and working notes on agentic engineering. Honest WIP, not flagships.
- [Your AI Usage Card](https://silou.dev/pulse/index.md): A prompt you run in your own Claude Code. 100% local, ~2 minutes. It measures how you actually operate the model and prints a calibrated card: your level (L0–L5), your ≈ Cherny adoption step, and your one next unlock.

## Writing

- [Behavior over kit: what your Claude Code setup says about you](https://silou.dev/writing-behavior-over-kit.md): Installed tools tell you almost nothing — the level lives in behavior. The story of the AI Usage Card: a prompt that measures how you actually operate Claude Code, built to calibrate a talk for a room of ~50 engineers.
- [The harness, not the prompt](https://silou.dev/writing-harness-not-the-prompt.md): Why the next dev skill is engineering the system around the model — context, the agentic layer, hooks, offloading, observability — not wording the request.
- [What every team should know about LLMs](https://silou.dev/writing-llm-fundamentals.md): The mental model that stops cargo-culting: tokens, the context window, tools, and what an agent actually is — versus when you don't need one.
- [Model-offloading & the price of lost confidence](https://silou.dev/writing-model-offloading.md): When sending non-interactive work to a smaller or local model wins — and when the harness you need to trust its output costs more than the model you saved.
- [Getting yourself out of the loop](https://silou.dev/writing-out-of-the-loop.md): Loop engineering plus scheduling (cron) turns a good harness into unattended, trustworthy runs — work that happens without you in the loop.
- [plan → build → review](https://silou.dev/writing-plan-build-review.md): The loop I work by: scope the work, let the agent build against that scope, then review — with evals so 'it works' is measured, not a vibe.
