What I run alongside the consulting practice.
Tools, templates, and methodology that came out of client engagements and stayed in rotation. Some are paid, one is open source. All maintained between projects, priced where they’re priced because a working designer should be able to buy them on a personal card — or fork them for free.

component-md
Design system specs that AI agents can read.
A markdown spec format for design system components — one file per component, five required slices: API, structure, color, voice, behavior. Built so the agents your engineers ship code with (Claude Code, Figma Make, v0, Cursor) stop fabricating tokens and inventing components that don't exist in your library. Specs (Nathan Curtis) makes the token layer legible to LLMs. component-md does the same at the component layer.
— what’s inside
- Five-slice schema: API, structure, color, voice, behavior
- Worked example: a full text-field component spec
- Issue templates for production-drift reports
— best for
Design system teams shipping AI handoff in production who keep watching agents fabricate tokens and invent components that don't exist.

A low-friction read on a single product surface.
Drop a URL or a Figma link and get back a structured first-pass audit — heuristic flags, IA observations, and the questions a senior consultant would ask before quoting a real engagement. Built as the on-ramp to the paid audit; useful as a standalone gut-check.
— what’s inside
- Heuristic and IA observations on a single surface
- Pre-audit questions, ranked by impact
- PDF export, ready to share internally
— best for
Founders and product leads who want a senior outside read before committing to a full audit engagement.

UX skill pack
The templates I actually use in client work.
The working files behind the consulting practice — KPI-tree templates, OOUX object maps, stakeholder workshop decks, and the audit document scaffold I bill against. Not aspirational templates; the ones I open every Monday.

- KPI-tree and OOUX templates (Figma + Miro)
- Stakeholder workshop deck and facilitation notes
- Audit document scaffold and pricing worksheet
— best for
Designers who want to operate at a strategic tier and need the working artefacts to do it.

Socrates Parser
Turn Socrates reports into Pinescript code.
A working tool for traders who follow the Socrates timing model and want their reports translated directly into TradingView Pinescript — without the manual transcription step. Paste the report, get back ready-to-paste Pinescript. Built for the side-practice; useful enough that it stayed in the lab.
— what’s inside
- Socrates report → Pinescript translation
- TradingView-ready output, no manual cleanup
- Subscription with cancel-anytime billing
— best for
Traders who run the Socrates timing model and want the report-to-chart loop tightened to copy-paste.
