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
- Boot: User types
boot.→ TIA loads context, checks health - Understand: User describes task → TIA uses Beth/Reveal to discover structure
- Plan: TIA creates todo list, asks clarifying questions
- Execute: TIA uses appropriate tools (code, deploy, test, document)
- Save: User types
save.→ TIA creates README, offers session continuation
Discovery Pattern
- Orient:
reveal /project→ See directory structure (not blind grep) - Navigate:
reveal file.py→ See functions/classes (not full file) - Focus:
reveal file.py function_name→ Extract specific code - Search:
tia beth explore "concept"→ Semantic knowledge discovery
Documentation-First
- TodoWrite for session tasks
tia task addfor persistent work items- README generation at session end
- Session badges for quick context
- Cross-session reference via search
TIA vs. Traditional Development
| Traditional | TIA |
|---|---|
| grep/find → read everything | reveal → structure first (25x fewer tokens) |
| One project at a time | 60 projects orchestrated |
| Manual context switching | Semantic search across all projects |
| Lost context between sessions | Session continuity + README handoffs |
| Manual deployment | Infrastructure integration |
| No AI assistance | Multi-agent workflows |
| Documentation as afterthought | Documentation-first, always |
