Julien Calixte 69fec5fe2e feat(samples): add "AI deskilling spiral" gallery sample
The thirteenth sample points the language at a live debate: a classic trap,
Shifting the burden to the intervenor (Thinking in Systems, ch. 5), with AI as
the intervenor. Technical debt drives AI reliance, AI churns debt and lets
skills atrophy, and a thinner-skilled team refactors less — so the loop
Technical debt -> AI reliance -> atrophy -> Expertise -> refactoring ->
Technical debt is Reinforcing: addiction, not a fix. A learning Balancing brake
(practice toward a skill ceiling) is tuned to lose.

Maps the brief onto valid roles: Expertise and Technical debt are the stocks;
code quality and lead time read off them (inverse of debt / inverse of
expertise); model price lives in the AI-reliance factor. Buildable on the
existing rule vocabulary. Tuned against the simulator: over t=0..50 Expertise
slides 70 -> ~6 and Technical debt spirals 20 -> ~150, stopped (like
"Escalation") before the loop runs off-chart. The loop detector classifies the
four loops as expected (2 R, 2 B).

meadows

A canvas for thinking in systems — stocks, flows, converters, and feedback loops. Inspired by Donella Meadows' Thinking in Systems.

Deployed at https://meadows.apoena.dev

Design & docs

  • CONTEXT.md — the ubiquitous language: Stock, Flow, Converter, Information Link, Polarity, and the Feedback Loops (Reinforcing / Balancing) the wiring forms.
  • DESIGN.md — goal-driven design (QFD): goals → functions → components, the House of Quality, the performance budget, and recorded tradeoffs.
  • Architecture decisions (docs/adr/):
    • ADR-0001 — feedback loops are detected from structure, not stored.
    • ADR-0002 — Vue Flow is the editor substrate; the domain Model is the source of truth.
    • ADR-0003 — a Flow is a node; Source/Sink clouds are materialised nodes.
    • ADR-0004 — simulation behaviour comes from a small fixed vocabulary of rules over Information Links, not free-form formulas.
    • ADR-0005 — uPlot draws the behaviour-over-time chart; a charting dependency that earns its keep.

Stack

Vite + Vue 3 + TypeScript, Tailwind v4, DaisyUI. Lint/format via oxc (oxlint + oxfmt). SPA-only — diagram model is client-side.

Develop

pnpm install
pnpm dev           # frontend on :5173
pnpm lint          # oxlint  (pnpm lint:fix to autofix)
pnpm fmt           # oxfmt   (pnpm fmt:check to verify only)
pnpm build         # type-check + production build (what Coolify runs)

Deploy

Pushes to main are picked up by Coolify at https://platform.apoena.dev.
