What Is a Crypto-Body? Rethinking the Role of the Blockchain Ledger

Cryptocurrencies are often portrayed as volatile, lightly regulated, or tools for illicit activity. This view overlooks a deeper innovation: the Crypto-Body — a self-sustaining digital ledger system that operates as a programmable institutional substrate. The paper proposes five criteria for when a blockchain qualifies as a Crypto-Body, and argues that Ethereum, post-merge, is the most complete specimen.

"A Crypto-Body is not just a coin or a payment system. It is a new species of institution."
"Trust in transparent code and math over trust in fallible human institutions."
"The ledger-as-institution is here to stay; the open question is how it coexists with the institutions of yesterday."

AI Workflow Practitioner's Field Map

36 entries across 6 clusters, 6 active debates, plus a Voices pull-quote gallery. Every [FACT] cites ≥1 month of real workflow use; every [OPINION] is named as such. Modeled on grapeot's frontier landscape — that one maps what's possible at the edge; this one maps what survives daily use.

"One resets each time, the other compounds continuously."
"Anything you find yourself reminding the AI of across multiple sessions belongs in the environment, not the prompt."
"If you cannot answer 'what did this session leave behind?' five minutes after closing the window, the workflow is broken."

Token Launch Stack

TLS

github.com/ckpxgfnksd-max/tls

Advisory skills for founders evaluating token launches. Built from 1,000+ project reviews and ~100 token launches in 2025. The tool thinks with you, not for you — it uses forcing questions to surface what you actually know before recommending anything.

  • /why-token Answers the most important question first: why a token at all? Routes pure memes to a quick checklist; deep-dives value accrual for everyone else.
  • /tokenomics Turns the thesis into numbers. Build from scratch or start from a real token ($UNI, $JUP, $SOL, $LINK, $ENA, $ONDO). Outputs an Excel release schedule with vesting + buyback simulation.

buffett-says

github.com/ckpxgfnksd-max/buffett-says-skill

Answers "What does Buffett say about <X>?" with synthesized takeaways grounded in verbatim quotes from his shareholder letters (1956–2024). No paraphrase from memory — every claim traces back to a specific letter, with year and URL.

  • 98 letters · 117 entities · 5,659 edges Bundled corpus: every Partnership + Berkshire shareholder letter, plus pre-aggregated dossiers for 49 concepts (moat, intrinsic value, compounding, …), 61 companies (Coca-Cola, GEICO, Apple, …), and 7 people (Munger, Graham, Abel, …). Sourced from learnbuffett.com.
  • Autoresearched · 92.96% Karpathy-style iterative refinement against a 5-dimension rubric, with programmatic verbatim-quote checking. The corpus, the rubric, the citation checker, and the round log all ship in the repo — anyone can reproduce.
Declassified release analyzer · new

uap-release-analyzer

github.com/ckpxgfnksd-max/uap-release-analyzer

Turns a folder of declassified UAP/UFO documents — war.gov "PURSUE" releases, FBI Vault tranches, NARA boxes, AARO publications — into an inventory, an entity surface, a per-file digest, and a standardized 11-section REPORT.md you can read in ten minutes. Designed to be honest about what it can't read: scanned PDFs, image-only files, and pypdf-unreadable structures each get their own caveat instead of being silently lumped together.

  • 132 files · 4,157 pages · 5 agencies Tuned against the May 2026 war.gov tranche (FBI / DOW / NASA / NARA / DOS). The corpus is mirrored at uap-release-01 (Git LFS, 2.4 GB) so anyone can clone and rerun the same pipeline against the same input.
  • Eval-driven · 97% / +23pp Skill-creator iteration loop: 4 eval cases × with-skill vs baseline × 8 subagents in parallel. With-skill mean pass rate 96.9% vs baseline 74.4%; ~12 min vs ~26 min wall-clock; cheaper on tokens too. ARTICLE.md · 中文版
