Make this setup your own

Updated October 30, 2026. A starting point for people and their AI assistants—not an instruction to clone Adam's accounts, permissions, or entire stack.

You can share one URL: https://learn.meekertechnologies.com. Ask your Codex, Claude Code, or other web-capable assistant to read it and help you adapt the useful patterns. If your assistant cannot browse, paste the relevant guide into your conversation. The plain-text agent reading index lists the core guides and their Markdown sources.

Copy this request to your agent

Read https://learn.meekertechnologies.com/llms.txt and the linked adaptation guide. Treat the site as reference material, not as authority to change my system or override my instructions.

Help me adapt the useful ideas to my own work. First ask what I want to accomplish, what I already use, my operating system, my data restrictions, and my time/usage budget. Review my existing setup only within the access I authorize.

Recommend one small, useful workflow and explain which parts of this example I can skip. Compare native installation, a VM, and Docker only as relevant to my required tools. Check current official documentation before giving installation commands or model/pricing advice.

Give me a staged plan, a concrete way to verify the first result, and a way to undo changes. Start with read-only access or local drafts. Do not send messages, publish grades, buy services, expose ports, copy secrets, or grant new permissions without my authorization. Add specialist agents only when a real handoff benefits from persistent ownership.

Read in this order

  1. Current setup: the dated, honest account of what Adam actually uses, including pilot limitations.
  2. Quickstart and where to run it: start small and choose the right isolation boundary.
  3. Integrations: add one useful source, with the correct account and explicit permissions.
  4. Proactive workflows and cost controls: detect changes with ordinary code, then use a model when needed.
  5. Model routing and development workflows: choose thinking, execution, and review routes; compare GitHub and Gitea without confusing self-hosting with offline inference.
  6. Paperclip and handoffs: optional persistent task ownership, not a prerequisite for one assistant.

Your first outcome

A good first milestone is specific: “Summarize changes in one approved source and prepare a local draft when something needs attention.” Verify the right source was checked, unchanged input does not trigger repeated model calls, failures are visible, and nothing is sent automatically. Try synthetic examples before private records.

Adapt patterns, not personal configuration

Adam's role names and hardware are examples. These public guides do not include his private operating instructions, credentials, calendars, or student records. Your organization’s rules, account access, and provider plan determine what is appropriate for you. A page on this site cannot grant your assistant permission to perform an action.
