Work / project atlas
Everything I have built, and what each thing is.
Selected Work gets a full story. This index accounts for the rest: 52 repositories I own (21 public, 31 private), the CLIO components my team builds, and the GRC systems I helped build. Projects are the unit; repositories belong to projects.

Flagship
The systems that carry the current direction.
-
CLIO
flagship platform beta PI and architectContext Layer for Input/Output. The agentic-science ecosystem built through IOWarp: a tiered context store, a scientific tool kit, science agents, a remote-execution relay, a terminal front end, and the coding agent.
Components ship at their own pace. Core and Kit are released and maintained; Agent is beta; Coder is experimental; Researcher and Bench are private.
- iowarp/clio-core Tiered context and data runtime; led by the GRC core team.
- iowarp/clio-kit MCP servers for scientific computing; team-built, with my contributions.
- iowarp/clio-agent The science agent; team-built, with my contributions.
- iowarp/clio-relay
- iowarp/gact-tui
- iowarp/clio-agent-marketplace
- iowarp/clio-web-search
- iowarp/clio-schemas

-
Clio Coder
developer tool experimental created and maintainedA terminal coding agent for scientific and HPC software. Local models are the design target, the model never gets a raw shell by default, work goes to bounded workers across a cluster, and every run seals a receipt.
v0.3.7 on npm as @iowarp/clio-coder; experimental, interfaces may change before 1.0.
-
IOWarp
flagship platform maintained co builtThe NSF-funded platform for context orchestration in scientific computing. Its runtime, transfer and assimilation engines, and tool kit are the ground CLIO stands on.

v0.7.2 on PyPI.
-
WTF-P
writing workflow released created and maintainedA staged research-writing workflow for coding agents. Spec, outline, section plans, isolated drafts, review.
v0.5.0 on npm. A material-science variant, wtf-ms, lives in the IOWarp organization.
-
Helios MCP
developer tool experimental created and maintainedPersistent, versioned personality and preference state for agents: base behaviors, specialized personas, and Git-tracked changes instead of re-explaining yourself every session.

CLIO precursors and extensions
Earlier experiments that fed the CLIO components, and extensions built on the toolkit.

Initiatives and this site
Organizational work and the notebook itself.
-
Building GRC
institutional initiative maintained project leadCo-founding and directing the Gnosis Research Center.

-
akougkas.io
writing workflow maintained created and maintainedThis site. Jekyll, validated content contracts, static redirects, and a dependency-free browser layer.
Relaunched August 2026.
The rest of the ledger
Counted so nothing disappears, unnamed until there is something worth saying.
- 15 private experiments without a public name yet: one-off tools, concept notes, and early rewrites from 2022 onward. Each one is counted here and will be named when there is something worth saying about it.
- 9 public repositories that are forks kept for reference, placeholders, or experiments outside this studio's direction.
- 4 repositories withheld on purpose: personal machine configuration, home-lab configuration, personal finance tooling, and a retired website prototype.
The complete institutional catalog, including projects I did not lead, lives at GRC.
