Utilities & Naming
Small sharp tools around the edges of design work — domain and username checks, etymology, privacy-first web utilities, and the services and apps kept as craft references.
For an agent. Look here for support tasks rather than design output: checking a name or handle, converting a file, or finding an API and pricing reference used in a build.
