Nonzero Lab
This is a more readable version of the Nonzero Lab GitHub repository: the same collection of reference materials and Claude Code skills, formatted for easy browsing. All of these documents are works in progress, continuously revised as the project evolves. (The repo also includes the full archive, as of Feb 8, 2026, of written pieces published in the Nonzero newsletter.)
