How This Was Built

This site was built with Claude Code — Anthropic’s CLI for Claude — doing most of the heavy lifting.

The workflow: I described what I wanted, we planned it together, Claude wrote the files. I reviewed, approved, and we iterated. The whole setup — git repo, Hugo site, Blowfish theme, GitHub Actions CI/CD, GitHub Pages deployment — came together in a single session.

That’s the farm philosophy in action. Agents write agents. The tools we’re building here are the same tools we used to build this place.

The stack

• Hugo — static site generator. Fast, simple, no server needed.
• Blowfish — the theme. Dark mode, card layouts, good fit for a multi-section site.
• GitHub Actions — CI/CD. Every push to main triggers a build and deploy.
• GitHub Pages — hosting. Free, reliable, works with custom domains.
• Claude Code — the builder. Plans, writes, iterates.

The philosophy

Test first. Language is an output, not a constraint. Agents choose the right tool for the job.

For a Hugo site, “test first” means: does hugo build succeed? The CI gate enforces this on every PR. Nothing merges if the build breaks.

What’s next

The site is live. Now we plant the first agents. Rowan, Ivy, Ash — workers on the farm. Each one defined by a Gherkin scenario, implemented with a failing test first.

The farm grows from here.
