Hybrid UI Detection: Why We Split Vision and Intelligence

uitag combines Apple Vision's text detection with a fine-tuned YOLO model to hit 90.8% coverage on ScreenSpot-Pro — faster and cheaper than VLM-only approaches.
Benchmarking UI Detection on ScreenSpot-Pro

How we evaluated uitag against 1,581 annotations across 26 professional macOS applications — methodology, results, and what the numbers actually mean.
Why Detection and Intelligence Should Be Separate Layers

The architectural argument for splitting UI perception from UI reasoning — and what happens when you don't.

uitag

Hybrid UI detection for macOS — makes screenshots machine-readable with bounding boxes, labels, and coordinates in ~1 second, on-device.
Interagent Protocol

Governed coordination protocol for multi-agent LLM systems where the human operator is the routing authority, not a bottleneck to be automated away.
vLLM-MLX Fork

Apple Silicon backend for local multimodal inference — evidence-backed VLM serving with compatibility matrices and benchmark data.
OPERATOR.md

A specification for human-operator context files in multi-agent development environments — the missing counterpart to CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md.
Metacognitive Memory System

Shared, trustworthy memory for a multi-agent ecosystem — any agent on any CLI can recall, build on, and assess confidence in prior work across session and project boundaries.
Semachat

Semantic chat interface that structures conversations into retrievable, relationship-aware knowledge rather than flat transcript logs.
