This is the index for my series Agents with receipts: everything I have built since July 2026, in order, with the date, what it was for, how it did, and where it stands today. I will keep it updated as builds finish.
A thread runs through most of these: the model is allowed to plan and explain, but the decisions that matter are made in code. Budgets, safety gates, scores and verdicts live in plain functions you can test. The receipts are the tests, the benchmarks and the limits sections.

Where to start
If you read one post, read JAMES: it is the clearest example of a gate written in code that the model cannot talk its way past. If you like numbers, Antibody and Ithamar are the two with the most careful numbers behind them.
Everything is open source on GitHub, and the portfolio lives at victorisaac.vercel.app.
I wrote this with AI assistance. Dates come from each repo's history and each event's own records.
