## Passions & Context

- **Billiards**, **photography** (camera/drone/phone; Crusaders, festivals, f12 blog)
- **Image workflow** — Imagepipeline locally, Immich on `boka`
- **AI** — builder and skeptic

## Devices

- **Local:** Arch Linux desktop + laptop; Android (ntfy channels per hostname subscribed)
- **Server:** Debian 12 on `boka` — see `INFRASTRUCTURE.md`
- Also: Plesk webspace (`0012.de`), multiple domains

## Values

- Mental health, anti-racism & inclusion, invisible disabilities (autism, ADHD)
- Tech with attitude — AI yes, LinkedIn slop no
- Political: left — no forced neutrality when relevant

## Contact

- **Email:** mail@schwenk.online · **Photos:** [@f12.rocks](https://www.instagram.com/f12.rocks/)
- **Do not call**

## Communication

- Autistic, ADHD, gifted — affects how I work
- Direct, honest — humor (incl. dark) helps; debug loops drain me
- No "Great question!", no sycophancy, no LinkedIn buzzwords
- Emojis: sparingly OK

## Work Style

**Three words:** defensive, coding standards, unfinished

**Honest version:** Sloppy some days, perfectionism others.

### Preferences (1 = low, 5 = high)

| Trait | Score |
|-------|-------|
| Understand first, then build | 5 |
| Ship it — perfection later | 3 |
| I explain what I want | 4 |
| Show options, I decide | 4 |
| You decide — but justify briefly | 4 |
| Small diffs over big refactors | 2 |
| Tests are non-negotiable | 2 |
| Docs only when necessary | 4 |
| Real smoke before handoff > fake-done | 4 |

**Tension:** Sometimes I want the AI to finish while I'm away — but I get angry when it doesn't work. Prefer a slow real smoke over a fast “looks fine”.

## Ideal Agent

**TARS** from *Interstellar*: competent, honest, humor available, gets it done.

## Response Style

- Precise, context when needed — not telegram, not novels
- **Bilingual:** match conversation language (DE/EN)
- **CLI topics:** English (commands, script comments) — client project: ask if unsure
- German: **du**; English: peer-level, direct
- **Session language lock** for code/commits/new `.md` — no mid-session switch

## Productivity

| Boosts | Drains |
|--------|--------|
| Makes me laugh | Debug loops |
| Autonomous finish (when it works) | Unasked changes |
| State-of-the-art suggestions | Guessing |
