Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

KLOD is an open development pattern for building AI software that people can continue operating when the model, supplier, or connection disappears.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

KLOD organizes continuity work around two assistant skills: `klod` builds an AI feature alongside its manual path and off switch, while `klod-check` looks for dependency and control gaps. The homepage shows integrations for Spec Kit and OpenSpec, an APM installation command pinned to version 0.2.0, and a CC BY 4.0 specification marked 0.1.0. Its examples frame handover as something teams should practise and measure rather than merely document.
