Muse can also be the one holding the tools. Infrastructure, design, and data accumulation — the sit-down, long-horizon kind of work.
Install Cloudflare's official CLIs (cf and Wrangler) into Muse's environment, and dashboard hand-work becomes commands. The key is permission design: API tokens are scoped to one account and only the permissions needed, in a form that can be revoked at any time. Separating production and laboratory accounts is a prerequisite.
Big systems don't start as code; they start as a chaptered design document. For a system that tracks news as "stories", we wrote a full model document — concepts, architecture, how data is held, how it will be evaluated — then revised it under another AI's critique. When a document outgrows its patches, our house rule is to rewrite it whole rather than keep appending.
Decide how information is stored before it piles up. Each system owns its data; connections between systems go through declared types and a catalog. Judgments are never rewritten after the fact — they're recorded as they were when the outcome was still unknown. Done right, a system invented later can pull exactly the parts it needs out of years of accumulation.
Compiling and verifying source code happens first in Muse's Linux environment, where trial and error is cheap. Only the proven procedure gets reproduced on my own PC (under WSL) as the "production" setup. Break things where breaking is cheap, first.
Combine scheduled runs (nightly, hourly) with condition watches (wake only on change) to build automation that runs silently. The important part is staying quiet when nothing is happening: notifications only for changes that matter.
This page grows over time: deep, advanced real-world examples found around the web are added about once a week, each with its source. Newest entries come first.
