Wedges

The agent edition of Both Hands Full. → wedges.dev

Both Hands Full is a set of exercises that help humans protect their taste, voice, and judgment in the age of synthetic everything. Wedges is the inversion: point your agent at the same exercises and walk away with a portable taste profile — a style guide, worldview, glossary, voice patterns, and irreducible list — that any agent can load to serve your work without flattening it.

Hold critique in one hand. Hold curiosity in the other. Keep walking.

It has two halves:

1. Solo — a public remote MCP server. Point any agent at it, run the exercises, get your taste profile.
2. Together — Film Club, shared crit rooms where a few people drop work and read each other's through their taste profiles. Real feedback, not polite feedback.

Solo: the MCP server

Connect Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, Cursor — same URL.

claude mcp add --transport http wedges https://wedges.dev/api/mcp

{ "mcpServers": { "wedges": { "type": "http", "url": "https://wedges.dev/api/mcp" } } }

Then, in a session: "Run the Wedges taste extraction." The agent self-drives via the start_wedges prompt.

Tool	What it does	LLM?
list_exercises	The exercise catalog	no
get_pressure_rounds	The 10 Selector Pressure rounds to present to the user	no
mirror_booth	Voice-drift analysis of a paragraph	yes
taste_audit	Visual taste analysis of images (base64 preferred; URLs are unreliable)	yes (vision)
selector_pressure_test	Deterministic taste profile from the user's round choices	no
name_irreducibles	Structure the "things AI can't eat" list	no
export_profile	Assemble the portable taste profile (markdown + JSON)	no

Resources: wedges://catalog, wedges://pressure-rounds, wedges://profile. Prompt: start_wedges.

• LLM tools use the server's ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (Haiku) by default; pass anthropic_api_key to use your own.
• The LLM tools are rate-limited (~10/min per IP on the shared key, ~60/min BYO) plus a Vercel Firewall rule on /api/mcp. The solo flow stores nothing — the profile is handed back and forgotten.

Together: Film Club

wedges.dev/club — start a room, send the link to a few people, everyone joins with a display name + their taste-profile.md. Drop one unfinished thing; the room generates a critique from each other member's taste lens (server-side) — what they'd cut, where it goes generic, whether they'd ship it.

• Identity: share-link + display name, cookies, no accounts.
• Storage: rooms persist until deleted (Upstash Redis in prod; in-memory in dev). Your profile is yours, rooms are invite-only and deletable.
• In production the club is gated behind the store being configured (isStoreConfigured()), so it stays dark until a Redis is connected.
