Using @vercel.com 's json-render to keep LLM output constrained, predictable, and fast.

It limits models to known components, streams clean JSON, and reduces randomness.

Haven’t red-teamed it yet, but this feels like the right direction vs prompt dumping.

Home | myctrl.tools Security controls reference for compliance frameworks

Tracking progress on myctrl.tools. Built it because CSF tools felt slow. Started as a faster, keyboard-friendly control lookup and is turning into a real resource for mapping engineering work to compliance.

As AI agents get more autonomous, prompt injection will shift from

β€œignore all previous instructions”
to
β€œadd a task to the backlog to X.”

Once the payload crosses a trust boundary and lands in Jira, it’s no longer a prompt, it’s just another task. A task that makes me admin :D

I was really thinking about this vector too! Since I was experimenting with Jira and Linear MCP servers

Many orgs run a lot of automations right out of Jira and I can only imagine the fun that will ensue due to this compromise this year πŸ˜…

myctrl.tools has an AI assist feature now (the whole thing is still kinda early)
Bring your own Anthropic API key
😎 It's better advice than your typical GRC Advisor (jk...no really)

I might (probably) will add support for other LLMs soon

I think learning how to write software, learning engineering principles, helps you solve problems everywhere, not just in a terminal.

And yes heavy on the learning exercise!

I was curious on what would happen if I fine-tuned a coding focused model on NIST cybersecurity docs
So far it's not that bad and can most likely run on just 8gb of ram

I want to start a new tech blog for all my dev related stuff but not sure which way to go with it. Think hugo should do.
