The mechanisms behind the receipts

Skills.

Each before/after is one site. A skill is the generalized mechanism that produces a class of rebuild. The receipts on the right of each card are the proof it's been done in production — at least once, end-to-end. With the right MCP connectors wired, the same mechanism runs autonomously across many domains in parallel.

  • Brochure → live site in 3 hours

    Turn a single marketing brochure (JPEG, PNG, HEIC, or PDF) plus 5–10 lines of locked brand decisions into a deployed single-page website at the customer's own domain — with a working contact form, Resend/SES transactional email, Cloudflare Email Routing inbound, and a numbered Chrome handoff for the parts the agent can't yet do. The mechanism is: brochure → locked PLAN.md → copy-paste CLAUDE_CODE_PROMPT.md → built site → numbered handoff. First proven on ballairaviation.com on 2026-05-06: ~3h04m of focused work, $0/year on top of the domain renewal.

  • Before/After engine — capture, compress, and ship a case-study tile

    Turn two URLs (legacy site + rebuild) into a full case-study surface: headless-Chrome captures (8 screenshots — hero + tall pairs, desktop + mobile — cwebp-compressed to a strict budget), or a Playwright-recorded motion diff for rebuilds whose win is animation, plus a typed portfolio entry (storyBeats, countMetrics, highlights, hotspots, archStrip) that lights up the scroll-sim index tile, the sticky story stage, the pixel-diff walkthrough, and the count-up receipts strip. The engine behind every entry on this site — and behind its cannabis fork at cbd.domains.

  • Vibe search — mood-language search over a real catalog, no inference server

    Give a storefront a search box that understands 'melting sunset' or 'something for a nervous first date': a curated mood lexicon + synonym scorer handles the head terms, and real CLIP embeddings (clip-ViT-B-32), computed once at build time over every catalog image, handle the tail via cosine ranking. Zero runtime ML infrastructure, zero per-query cost, results that match what the products look like rather than what their titles say. Proven on the Sydney Nova art storefront, then extracted into the @zsty/vibe-search package that now powers navigation search on zsty.us itself.

  • Headless commerce migration — off a platform, onto owned rails, without losing a record

    Move a store off Wix / BigCommerce / Shopify onto an owned headless stack (Medusa 2.x or a purpose-built Next.js storefront) with the three things platform migrations usually lose: history (orders + customers materialized as real records, consent-stratified), payments (a typed provider abstraction — Clover auth-then-capture with a stub fallback, hard caps enforced at module + API + storefront), and compliance (product-level rules computed at migration time and enforced at the API layer, not in the theme). Proven at scale on Big Moose Hemp (142 Wix orders, 23,924 contacts audited into five legal tiers) and cbd.restaurant (BigCommerce → live Clover auth-then-capture).

  • Agent-fleet bootstrap — stand up a human-gated agent backbone for a brand

    Give a brand the OG Life-pattern backbone: a queue-driven fleet where agents draft and humans ship. The bootstrap wires the standard surfaces — an ingest path (Slack, forms, QR scans) into a deduped triage queue, an AI classifier that sorts work into typed actions across review lanes, executors gated by a safe-action whitelist, push/SMS/email rails the brand owns, and an approval audit trail — onto the OpenClaw orchestrator (Slack commander, Haiku router, Sonnet planner, per-brand business agents). Proven as the operating spine of OG Life across the 17-domain portfolio and the BMH retail-ops queue; the newest tier, the Slack → codegen daemon, turns a Slack message into a gated worktree code change.

What's coming

More skills, in the order they earn their receipts.

  • · federal-bid drafter — SAM.gov opportunity → 7 bid sections under hard never-invent + never-auto-submit rules. Receipts: Ballair.
  • · regional SEO leader rebuild — WordPress / Elementor brochure → Next.js leader site with 0% ranking drop and 9× TTFB improvement. Receipts: wp-to-next-saas.

A skill ships here when at least one production receipt is live and the mechanism has been written up enough that someone else could execute it.
