A working journal of local & private AI

AI that works where you work.

InnerStack tracks every workflow, prompt and tool we test in the field, then records what we actually adopted and why. Read the journal, copy the stack, or have us install it in your office — where your customer data never leaves the building.

The journal

What we found, and where it went

Every entry is tagged to one of our workflows and carries a status: watching, evaluated, or adopted. Nothing here is auto-generated — the agents gather, a person decides.

LiteSpeed Advanced over Aggressive

The host offers three caching presets. The fastest one is also the one most likely to break a page you have not built yet.

Post types in a code snippet, not a plugin UI

Custom post types and taxonomies registered in one PHP snippet, instead of assembled by clicking through CPT UI.

Skipping the Kadence starter templates

The starter templates are the fastest way to a finished-looking site and the slowest way to the one you designed.

Living workflows

Seven stacks we run and revise in public

Each workflow is a versioned page. Journal entries attach to it; adopted changes bump the version and land in the changelog. What our agents follow is exactly what you read here.

Workflow changelog

What changed, and the reason

Every adopted entry becomes a diff against the workflow it improved — what it replaced, and why. Reviewable by anyone.

Agentic Structure

First published version. Written from the pipeline as it actually runs: gathering on short-lived Hermes workers, judgement on Claude with a person in the loop.

v1.0Sep 8 2026
Added

Website Development

First published version. Documents the stack this site is built on, including the two places we deliberately went against the conventional answer.

Guides & reviews

Four hubs, written for the person who has to make it work

Plain over clever, specific over hype, honest about tradeoffs. Some reviews tell you not to buy the thing.
