Harmonic Coordination Theory (HCT) proposes a musical ontology for multi-agent coordination. Current frameworks give you orchestration tools but lack a shared language for timing, quality, and intent.

I fix this using cues, fermatas, tempo, and dissonance as engineering primitives.

Key Publications

• Harmonic Coordination Theory — CS.AI / CS.MA papers
• stefanwiest/hct-spec — Canonical signal specification
• stefanwiest/hct-core — Reference implementation

Protocol Extensions

• stefanwiest/hct-mcp-signals — Coordination layer for Anthropic MCP
• stefanwiest/hct-a2a — Coordination semantics for Google A2A

Tools

Production tools that solve real problems—usually ones I've encountered myself.

Writing

SeekingSota — Weekly essays on AI × Human identity crisis

I explore what happens when engineers stop programming and start conducting AI agents. Real agent workflows, technical deep dives, philosophy of production, and honest stories about the identity crisis that comes with this transformation.
