RAJ CHETTRI / THE WORKSHOP

Things I use.
How they work.

I’m Raj. I work in a technical role with the U.S. Army. Here I write about my own systems, experiments with AI, and what I learn while building them.

A little about me

01 / RecoveryAgent skillsGit · Shell · iCloud Drive

01 / Project notes

A backup I have restored.

My agent skills live in a local Git repository. Each commit refreshes a verified backup bundle; a temporary restore checked that the committed files could be recovered.

  1. Commit
  2. Bundle
  3. Restore
A DESIGN DECISION

Test the recovery path, and document the hooks and client links that a clone does not restore.

02 / Project

Household DNS, now on Ethernet.

Moving my Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W off Wi-Fi meant checking the wired connection, repairing a stale SSH shortcut, and verifying DNS after a reboot.

  1. Devices
  2. Pi-hole
  3. Upstream DNS
A DESIGN DECISION

Check the client’s actual resolver and the service after a reboot, as well as the router’s saved settings.

03 / PublishingThis websiteObsidian · Hermes · Astro

03 / Workflow

The note is the source of the page.

I capture an idea, use Hermes to help with a draft, and review it in Obsidian. Markdown, Git, and Astro connect the writing to the website.

  1. Capture
  2. Review
  3. Publish
A DESIGN DECISION

The publishing workflow keeps a human review between a rough draft and a public page.

04 / Personal contextRaj OSMarkdown · Obsidian · Hermes

04 / System notes

A starting point an agent can read.

A small collection of notes gives Hermes relevant context about my priorities and how I work. The public article explains the structure and the lessons so far.

  1. Task
  2. Relevant notes
  3. Agent
A DESIGN DECISION

Retrieve the context needed for the task. The underlying personal records stay private.

AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD

There’s a person
behind the projects.

I’m a husband, a dad, and a reader who enjoys the outdoors. Learning takes up a fair amount of my spare time; this website is one way I make sense of it.
