Like a Bicycle for the Brain — An Agent-Assisted Workplace

The author draws on Steve Jobs' 'bicycle for the mind' analogy to describe a multi-agent AI workspace used as a daily driver for two months, producing 638 commits and 134K tokens of steering rules across four customer accounts. The key insight is that AI doesn't need better prompts but codified knowledge of how you work—conventions, quality bars, and checklists—so every correction becomes a permanent, compounding rule.
