On-site long-form, as opposed to the writing index (external links to WeChat / blogs). 8 in total.

Localisation isn't translation: shipping a Chinese build of an agent runtime

The hard part wasn't the strings — before 0.1.7 one auto-update turned it back into English. Plus two designs worth stealing from OpenWorker's source: concurrent reads with sequential writes, and four permission levels.

A list of free models is the wrong abstraction

A list records claims, not evidence. FreeModel Port splits candidates from runnable models, with one real request drawing the line — plus why a unified router is inherently a high-privilege centre.

Making the people who do not present well visible

Achievement reviews fail two ways: the smooth talker wins, and plans get counted as results. This method removes both with a 1–2 minute voice interview, adaptive follow-ups and one scoring ruler.

The opportunities are not hard to find — they are scattered and time-boxed

A brain-science × AI opportunity radar for the class of 2027. The scarce thing is not a list of opportunities but the ordering — what you have to do first for the next thing to be possible.

A spreadsheet that has been running for years is a legacy codebase with no docs

The first obstacle to putting a manual Excel process on AI rails is not compute, it is trust — you will not upload your real cost sheet to a website. So step 0 is pure front-end and works offline.

Requirements in, software out — putting a software line on the homepage

Most "AI writes your code" products assume the user is a developer. SiliconForge drops the entry cost to nine multiple-choice questions, and pays for it by splitting "the AI says it is done" from "the tests actually ran".

What kind of decision agents does an AI-native organization's C-suite need

Boss / MBA Brand / OAF look unrelated, but they share one skeleton: research → deliberate → score → attribute. Here's that skeleton, and why an AI-native organization's C-suite needs it.

Wrote a CLI for agents: one npx zhanglu-net instead of scraping HTML

Added 9 JSON endpoints plus a zero-dependency CLI to zhanglu.net, so an agent can just run npx zhanglu-net list skills. No MCP, no SDK, shipped in 1.5 hours.
