LLMs (Large Language Models) are being used as sensors. That is a category error: using a probabilistic synthesizer where a deterministic boundary device is required. This isn't developers' fault. Most mainstream examples and tutorials lead with the simplest…

NOTE: This is not a conventional blog article. It is a technical spec written for a concrete feature in lucidRAG. I iteratively feed this document to code-focused LLMs during development to reason about trade-offs, validate assumptions, and converge on a…
Status: In development as part of lucidRAG. Source: github.com/scottgal/lucidrag Where this fits: VideoSummarizer is the orchestrator of the lucidRAG family, combining five pipelines into a unified video analysis engine: DocSummarizer - Documents (entity…
Search is one of those features everyone underestimates. It looks trivial until real users start typing real queries -acronyms, half-remembered technical terms, punctuation-heavy names like "ASP.NET", or searches that are conceptually right but textually…
Status: AudioSummarizer.Core is currently in development as part of lucidRAG, a forthcoming mostlylucid product for multi-modal RAG. The implementation is complete and working—this article documents the architecture and design. CLI integration will be…
I built StyloFlow because I kept writing the same pattern over and over: components that react to what happened before, emit confidence scores, and sometimes need to escalate to more expensive analysis. Existing workflow engines wanted me to think in terms of…
If you're brand new to RAG, start with RAG Explained and RAG Architecture. This post is for the point where you've built a RAG pipeline that mostly works… and now you're paying for it in cost, fragility, and "why did it answer that?" debugging sessions. What…
Part 4: Image Intelligence introduced the ImageSummarizer wave architecture and the broader patterns. This article deep-dives into the OCR subsystem—three tiers of text extraction, intelligent routing, and the filmstrip optimization that achieves 30× token…
Parts 1-3 described Constrained Fuzziness as an abstract pattern. This article applies those patterns to a working image analysis pipeline that demonstrates the principles in action. CLI Tool - Command-line interface for image analysis Core Library - The…
One of the easiest ways to make an AI system fail is to let it remember too much. Most "context handling" approaches boil down to one of two mistakes: Stuff everything into the prompt and hope the model figures out what matters Repeatedly re-summarise…
