Carl Kibler — careful software, durable teams

Hi — I'm Carl.

I build teams, platforms, and the operating systems around them: architecture, security, hiring, incident response, vendor wrangling, and the quiet glue that makes software organizations dependable.

Most recently I ran engineering at Lucerna Health for six years, building the team, healthcare data platform, compliance program, and internal IT function from scratch. Now I'm building agent-native tools, small useful products, and a few civic/home-lab systems that refuse to stay small.

What I'm building

Project What it is Status
Toolsmith Low-token, hash-anchored file navigation and surgical edit primitives for AI coding agents. Public, npm package
ScreenSage macOS menu bar app that renames screenshots automatically with AI vision, with BYOK and local Ollama options. Product, private repo
My Emails Go to Spam Deliverability and internet-posture checks that turn domain/email standards into plain-English fix receipts. Product, private repo
PinkTank Utah Legislature tracking, bill analysis, calendar subscriptions, and advocacy coordination. Private repo
Jolly Roger Jukebox Personal media concierge for finding, repairing, routing, and reading/listening across a self-hosted library. Private repo
Agent Skills Reusable Claude Code and Codex skills: pre-mortems, trust audits, first-run red teams, support simulations, release operators. Public

Public shelves

  • agent-skills — workflow knowledge packaged as reusable agent behavior.
  • toolsmith — MCP tools for precise, token-efficient agent file work.
  • coldbrew-expresso-bike-unlock — offline unlock toolkit for Expresso HD bikes after the vendor cloud shutdown.
  • Citadel LLM Security Lab — one-day red-team sprint that evolved a prompt-injection scanner through nine versions.

The through-line

  • Make the source of truth boring and easy to verify.
  • Prefer receipts over dashboards.
  • Treat trust, support burden, and day-two operations as product features.
  • Build AI tooling that changes the work loop, not just the chat window.
