On an Atmosphere OS - Scott's Thoughts

How do we talk about atproto to non-developers?

The beauty of AT Protocol is that all of your data from different apps is available on your PDS, your own folder on the internet containing your stuff as JSON. This means that you can switch which app you use to view that data, without losing anything. It also makes it very easy to make connections between data stored using different lexicons, or just display activity in one place. Sifa does a nice job of this on your profile page. For web developers, and people who understand webhosting, the concept is reasonably easy to understand. I know that any atproto app I join is going to store data in my PDS, any other people will be able to see it.

Introducing Radial: Agent orchestration on the Atmosphere

I've been working on a new project called Radial, a collaborative coding-agent orchestrator built on atproto (the protocol behind Bluesky and the broader Atmosphere). It's a bit like a team issue tracker that works with your favorite harness/model and turns what your agents learn into durable, reviewable team memory. I'm very excited about it.

How coding agents read your code (and how to write for them)

Modem's codebase is roughly 99.9% written by AI agents. Here's what that taught us about how agents actually navigate a repo, and the three levers you control: the names you choose, the types you define, and where you put your explanations.

Launching a Cloud Atlas

The right questions to arrive with—and the right structure for what comes out of the interviews—are not completely obvious. So I’ve been spending some time thinking about clouds.
