Independent workflow · set up October 2026

One lead model.
Four specialists.

How I use AI to build and maintain this portfolio. One model plans and checks, specialist helpers each do one job, and I decide what gets published.

The team

Who does what.

Example

How one job moves through the team.

Adding a new case study page, from request to live site.

  1. Opus

    Plans the job

    Works out what a new case study page needs and which files it touches.

  2. Researcher

    Gathers context

    Pulls the project notes and shows how existing case pages are built.

  3. Codex

    Builds it

    Receives a full written brief and writes the page code.

  4. Reviewer

    Checks it

    Runs the site checks and lists anything that is broken or unclear.

  5. Opus and me

    Signs it off

    Opus fixes what was flagged and reports back. I read it before it goes live.

Specialists

Each model does the job it is best at.

A coding agent handles code, a fast model handles research and review, and the strongest model is kept for planning and judgement.

Independent checks

The builder never marks its own work.

Every change Codex makes is checked by a separate reviewer before it is committed, the way a second analyst would check a model.

Parallel work

Research and review run at the same time.

Helpers that do not depend on each other work side by side, so a task takes the time of its slowest step rather than the sum of them all.

Accountability

I stay responsible for what is published.

The rules the team follows are written down in the repository, and nothing reaches the live site without passing the build checks and my review.

What this does not claim

The AI does not choose my work or my conclusions.

The models write code and drafts when asked. I choose what to build, read changes before they are published, and the ownership of each case study is stated on its own page. When this page launched in October 2026, Codex was not yet connected, so Opus built it directly with my approval.
