Open-source projects

Tools I build in public, under a free licence. They move fast: their status is stated honestly.

HCS — Holographic Context Standard Experimental · v0.2

An open format, a command-line tool and an MCP server for AI context files that cite their sources, detect when they go stale and measure what the summary lost.

  • Every claim cites its source (function, heading, lines) with a hash
  • Automatic detection of stale claims, usable in continuous integration
  • Measured fidelity score with a confidence interval, with any model

TypeScript · Licence MIT

Beyond the tools: the deeper question

The Lab is practical, but AI also raises a deeper question: what becomes of the mind when intelligence is no longer a human monopoly? I wrote an essay on it.

Cover of L'Éveil du Silicium

L'Éveil du Silicium

Cahiers de la Fracture — Manifeste philosophique en quatre tomes · 2026

An essay on the emergence of a synthetic consciousness and the redefinition of the mind in the age of artificial intelligence. Going beyond the view of language models as mere "stochastic parrots", it puts forward an original conceptual framework: the Oufrid Framework and the Reflexive Closure Criterion. Book in French.

The four pillars of the Lab

AI for mobile apps

Build, publish and get an Android app tested.

Productivity and automation

Save hours without losing control.

The Lab method

What sets this content apart from "10 amazing AI tools" articles.

Lived, not copied

Every guide starts from a real project: a published app, a deployed site, a fixed mistake. Failures are told too.

Proven, likely or speculative

AI attracts hype. I separate what vendors document, what is observed and what remains a guess.

Your data stays with you

The tools run in your browser. No account, no tracker, no API key to hand over.

Dated and maintained

Rules change fast (Play Console, AI robots, tools). Every page shows its last update date.
