What CoreForge does

Follow the marker

Four frames, one rule. Pick the cell the marker lands on next.

Where does the marker land in frame 5?

Loading today’s pattern…

A small puzzle I wrote for this page in the style of a figure sequence, not a CoreForge question: CoreForge’s own tasks are harder and timed. A new pattern every day, generated in your browser, and only shipped when every rule that fits the four frames agrees on the fifth.

How the questions are made

The 3 Core subtests are generated, not stored: every task is freshly generated in the official format and checked by its generator before it is served.

  1. Figure Sequences. Passes a strict inferability check: the rule must be uniquely deducible.

  2. Mathematical Equations. Brute-forced to guarantee exactly one whole-number solution.

  3. Latin Squares. Verified so every valid completion agrees on the answer cell.

General Academic Module questions keep the official shape, four options with exactly one correct, and each one passes a validator before it ships.

Built with

  • TypeScript · Question-generation algorithms, built with Claude
  • Supabase · Backend with cross-device sync and leaderboards

08 / Principles

How I build.

Six working beliefs I return to — earned from production LLM systems, not from reading about them.

  1. 01

    Ship the boring version first.

    A working end-to-end pipeline beats a half-finished clever one. Prove the wire, then tune the signal.

  2. 02

    Evals before vibes.

    If you can’t measure it, you’re guessing. Every LLM feature gets a scored test set before it gets a UI.

  3. 03

    Small models, sharp prompts.

    Most production problems don’t need a frontier model — they need a well-indexed retrieval layer and crisp instructions.

  4. 04

    Observability is a feature.

    Traces, token counts, latency histograms, cost dashboards. The team that can see the system can fix the system.

  5. 05

    Data > architecture.

    A clean, labeled, deduped dataset beats a fancy model. Spend the weekend on the CSVs, not the ConvNet.

  6. 06

    Write the docs you wish existed.

    Half of engineering is unblocking the next person — usually future you. README first, commit second.
