The fleet

Projects & writing

The public side of what I build outside client work. Most of it runs the same way: scheduled agents research, draft, and open pull requests, and I hold the merge.

None of it would have penciled out at human hourly rates. That is the point.

Agent-maintained references

cheatsheets.davidveksler.com: 170+ standalone, evidence-cited reference pages across AI, engineering, finance, and more, a decision-ready answer in one page instead of a blog post to scroll through. Every page traces to a written spec, and a multi-agent pipeline drafts and audits against it. Start with the Agentic AI field guide or Governing Agentic AI for the method behind the output.
freecapitalists.org: the Mises Institute’s Creative Commons economics library, rebuilt into something a person can actually use. I open-sourced the corpus in 2009 as Mises.org’s webmaster, but scanned books with no text layer and lecture recordings in formats no browser plays were functionally unreadable by search engines, models, and people alike. Now: 949 books with per-title license records, 165 lecture series across 1,520 hours of audio and video, 320 authors, and 12 million words of lecture transcripts, most of them new. Agents scrape, match, verify, transcode, and transcribe, then open pull requests against the catalog; reviewing the diff is the human step that is left.
wiki.freecapitalists.org: the Mises Wiki, restored from its February 2014 corpus with full revision history and original authorship intact, and open to registered editors again. 1,400+ articles, the reference companion to the library above, for a generation of students who never saw the original.
coloradofirearmswatch.org: a sourced public reference for Colorado’s semiautomatic-firearms law, a firearm lookup, a county-by-county eligibility tracker, and a litigation tracker, for gun owners and anyone who wants to read the statute and the filings themselves. Six scheduled agents monitor official sources; none of them can commit to main. Live in production in about a day from a paragraph of dictated intent, and it has run itself since.
whopaysforai.org: who actually bears the cost of the AI infrastructure buildout, electricity, water, chips, capital, graded and sourced against a written evidence standard, because the public argument is currently louder than it is informed. My own angle is unusual: pro-growth, worried about existential risk, and building the systems in question for a living.

Ventures

Vellum Capital: the institutional crypto-asset custody platform I co-founded, plus a public research archive on durable ledgers and market structure.
WalletRecovery.info: crypto wallet recovery, founded 2017, a recovery service with a name and an address attached to it, which is rarer in that market than it should be.

Writing

Newsletter: Bitcoin’s history, finance, and technology, for a subscriber base built over years.
Future of Life: AI risk, the intelligence explosion, and the long-run future, for readers who want the argument made carefully.

Specific essays worth your time, picked and annotated, are at /notes/.

Open source

github.com/davidveksler: the code behind the fleet, plus a handful of standalone tools: crypto custody utilities, a codebase-to-LLM-context converter, and AI-assisted samples. For engineers who want to see the work, not just read about it.

If any of this overlaps with something you are building, or you want to compare notes on governed agentic pipelines, email heroic@gmail.com or find the code at github.com/davidveksler.
