About

I’m Robert Allen (zircote), a technologist building AI-powered developer tools and precision agriculture systems.

What I Build

AI Developer Tools — Claude Code plugins, semantic memory systems, and workflow automation
API Tooling — OpenAPI/Swagger specifications and documentation generators
Agriculture Tech — Precision farming tools, climate simulation, and livestock management systems
Open Source — Maintaining projects used by thousands of developers worldwide

When I’m not writing code, you’ll find me:

Making music — Cellist and bassist
In the workshop — Woodworking and building things with my hands
Reading and thinking — Aspiring philosopher with deep interests in ontology and semantics
Down rabbit holes — Currently fascinated by plasma physics

swagger-php — PHP library for generating OpenAPI documentation from annotations, used by thousands of projects worldwide
git-adr — Architecture Decision Records stored in git notes with AI-powered drafting
git-notes-memory — Git-native, semantically-searchable memory storage for Claude Code
vscode-git-adr — VSCode extension for managing Architecture Decision Records
marketplace — Claude Code plugins marketplace for enhanced development workflows

I also maintain Epic Pastures, an organization focused on open source tools for regenerative agriculture:

nsip-api-client — Python client for the National Sheep Improvement Program API
cloudgrow-sim — ASHRAE-compliant greenhouse climate simulation framework with plugin-based architecture
