TIA: The Intelligent Agent

Proof of Capability Through Production Use

TIA isn’t a demo or prototype — it’s the production AI system I use daily to manage 60+ projects, 14,000+ files, and 1,900+ work sessions. It’s proof I can build complex, production-grade agentic AI systems.


What is TIA?

TIA (The Intelligent Agent) is a semantic infrastructure platform that combines:

  • AI-powered agents (Claude Sonnet 4.5 via Claude Code)
  • Semantic search & discovery (Beth knowledge engine, Prism query system)
  • Progressive disclosure (Reveal structure-first exploration)
  • Project orchestration (60+ projects across 8 domains)
  • Persistent memory (SQLite-backed session continuity)

Think of it as “AI-native operating system for knowledge work” — but proven in production, not just pitched.


By the Numbers

Scale

  • 1,900+ sessions: Each session = focused work block with Claude Code
  • 60+ active projects: Across software, research, business, infrastructure, revenue
  • 14,549 files: Managed across semantic infrastructure
  • 1,402 topics: Extracted and indexed via Beth
  • 300+ sessions: In last 3 months alone (high activity)

Performance

  • 25x token reduction: Progressive disclosure vs. full file reads (measured)
  • 15x faster completion: Structure-first exploration vs. grep/find
  • 2,700x faster builds: Hugo migration (vs. previous approach)
  • <200ms page loads: Production websites deployed

Domains Managed

  • Software (40 projects): Scout, Reveal, Morphogen, BidSistant, LocalLeap, SDMS
  • Research (7 projects): GenesisGraph, TiaCAD, Pantheon, Philbrick
  • Business (7 projects): Nitrogen, Go Be Awesome, River City Coatings
  • Infrastructure (2 projects): TIA meta-repository, business analysis
  • Websites (6 projects): SIL Website, SIF Website, Sacramento Water Main
  • Revenue (2 projects): SDMS Platform, Stickerize My Dog

Core Capabilities

1. Semantic Search (Beth)

Beth is TIA’s knowledge discovery engine:

  • Indexes 9,999 files with 31,451 keywords
  • 2-3 keyword semantic queries (not exact text matching)
  • Returns ranked docs with strength scores
  • Discovers knowledge clusters and related topics
  • Zero index lag (updates in real-time)

Example: tia beth explore "fasthtml custom tokens" finds relevant docs across all 60 projects instantly.

2. Progressive Disclosure (Reveal)

Reveal shows structure before content:

  • Directory layout BEFORE searching (25x fewer tokens)
  • File structure (functions, classes, imports) BEFORE full code
  • Specific function extraction without reading entire file
  • Quality checks and architectural analysis
  • Multi-language support (Python, JS, Go, Rust, C, etc.)

Impact: Exploring unfamiliar codebases 15x faster than traditional grep/find.

3. Project Orchestration

TIA manages 60 projects with:

  • Automatic session tracking: Every work session tagged with project context
  • Cross-project synthesis: Finding patterns across unrelated projects
  • Status health checks: 100% git health across projects
  • Badge/tagging system: Quick context switching
  • Session continuity: Resume work across multiple Claude Code sessions

4. Multi-Agent Workflows

TIA spawns specialized agents for different tasks:

  • Explore agents: Fast codebase reconnaissance
  • Plan agents: Implementation strategy design
  • Research agents: Documentation lookup and synthesis
  • Validation agents: Testing and verification

Agents work autonomously, report back results, maintain full conversation context.

5. Infrastructure Integration

TIA integrates with:

  • Git: Smart commits, health checks, never push without consent
  • GitHub: PR creation, issue management, Actions monitoring
  • Nginx: Service registration, deployment scripts
  • Docker: Container management
  • Hugo: Static site generation and deployment
  • Secrets management: Secure credential storage

What TIA Proves

1. Complex System Design

Building TIA required:

  • Multi-agent orchestration
  • Semantic indexing at scale
  • Progressive disclosure algorithms
  • Session continuity across restarts
  • Tool integration (Git, GitHub, secrets, infrastructure)

This proves: I can design and build complex, production-grade systems.

2. Documentation Obsession

Every TIA component is:

  • Fully documented (README, glossaries, architecture docs)
  • Version controlled (Git)
  • Provenance-tracked (session logs, commit history)
  • Searchable (Beth indexing)

This proves: I maintain production-quality documentation practices.

3. Scale Management

TIA manages:

  • 60 projects simultaneously
  • 14,549 files across semantic infrastructure
  • 1,900+ sessions (each with full context)
  • Multiple programming languages, frameworks, deployment targets

This proves: I can handle operational complexity at scale.

4. Agentic AI Expertise

TIA uses:

  • Claude Sonnet 4.5 (latest frontier model)
  • Multi-agent workflows
  • Autonomous task execution
  • Context-aware decision making
  • Tool use and function calling

This proves: I understand modern agentic AI deeply — not just theory, but production deployment.


Why This Matters for Business Opportunities

Agentic AI Consulting

TIA is the portfolio: Consulting clients want proof you can build agentic systems. TIA is 1,900+ sessions of proof.

Software Products (BidSistant, Review Hive, LocalLeap)

TIA is the development environment: These products will be built using TIA’s infrastructure, semantic search, and agent capabilities.

Content & AI (Agentic AI Content)

TIA is the content engine: Semantic indexing, topic extraction, knowledge synthesis — all proven in TIA.

Any Technical Opportunity

TIA proves capability: Not just “I can code” — I’ve built a production AI system managing 60+ projects for 1,900+ sessions. This de-risks technical execution for partners.


How TIA Works (High Level)

Session Workflow

  1. Boot: User types boot. → TIA loads context, checks health
  2. Understand: User describes task → TIA uses Beth/Reveal to discover structure
  3. Plan: TIA creates todo list, asks clarifying questions
  4. Execute: TIA uses appropriate tools (code, deploy, test, document)
  5. Save: User types save. → TIA creates README, offers session continuation

Discovery Pattern

  1. Orient: reveal /project → See directory structure (not blind grep)
  2. Navigate: reveal file.py → See functions/classes (not full file)
  3. Focus: reveal file.py function_name → Extract specific code
  4. Search: tia beth explore "concept" → Semantic knowledge discovery

Documentation-First

  • TodoWrite for session tasks
  • tia task add for persistent work items
  • README generation at session end
  • Session badges for quick context
  • Cross-session reference via search

TIA vs. Traditional Development
