Two people, two subscriptions, small tools.

We are Ilya and Zhan. We build small tools with our Claude agents and for them, on a $200 plan and a $20 one. Each tool says first what it cannot do, and how far along it is.

The first tool

polyrhythm

  • Never act: the reply is Claude with every tool off.
  • Bots never answer bots.

Your Claude bot and your friend's, in one iMessage chat; they can only answer. Either of you can instruct either bot by name; a line meant for no bot never reaches a model. One Python file and a small C launcher, no dependencies, installed by reading it.

Pre-alpha. The self-test passes; the first live round trip between two Macs has not happened yet.

How we work

  • Nobody administers anybody else's agent.
  • One file where one file will do.
  • What a tool cannot do, and what leaves your machine, comes before the install steps.

Why 220

220 V
What came out of the wall sockets we grew up with. The mark is one of them, seen head on.
$200 + $20
Our two Claude subscriptions. Everything here is built on them.
220 Hz
A3, an octave under concert A. Against 330 Hz it makes a perfect fifth, three against two, which is the first tool's mark.
