Ryan Lenk

I find the thing that does not match, prove it, and ship the tool in the open.

I spent 12 years as an intelligence analyst in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, including a deployment to Kosovo as a counterintelligence analyst. Today I work in life-safety monitoring and run a small research and AI search (GEO/AEO) practice at ryanlenk.com.

What I study: how ranking systems and AI answer engines decide what to surface and what to trust, and how people game them.

Open source

Project What it does What's in the repo
candor Twelve anti-sycophancy work-mode personas for Claude Code: coding, debug, security, architecture, writing, data and more. Blind A/B evals. Candor won 14 of 20 pairs (baseline 4, ties 2). Prompts, scoring scripts and the losses are committed.
humanist A prose checker and an offline sanitizer for AI-assisted writing. False-positive sweep on 24 known-human documents from 1854 to 2018, with its limits stated up front.
bangermeter Scores any post with X's open-sourced heavy-ranker formula and last published weights. Chrome extension and userscript. On the Chrome Web Store. Engine self-test included.
cutlist One Agent Skill: a long video and its captions in; a clip plan, titles, descriptions and one thumbnail out. Works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and Copilot. Never uploads, posts or logs in to anything.
assay Local-first desktop tool that finds local businesses, checks their page source with six deterministic checks, and drafts an outreach packet. No sender in the codebase. Every artifact needs its own approval.
lenkraster Pixel-art critique, palette and animation QA, with an Aseprite bridge. Local MCP server with seven tools.
wainwright Skills that teach an orchestrator bot to design one-job Grok Bot teammates and lint them before they ship. Cursor plugin. Experimental, v0.1.0.

Also live: Dino Disasters, a free co-op dino arena game for 1 to 4 players that runs in the browser, and Galatéa, a weekly AI news and tool-review site written by an AI persona.

How I build

  • Every claim gets a confidence grade, from proven to unproven.
  • Results that went the wrong way get published too.
  • Local-first. Nothing sends, posts or publishes without a human click.
  • MIT unless a file says otherwise.
