| 🔭 explorations |
i explore how product teams and organizations can replace rigid frameworks with lighter, more adaptive ways of working. my path — software development, product management, hr leadership, self-management consulting, and education — gave me a front-row seat to the frictions that drain energy and multiply unnecessary complexity. today i support people at every level, from c-level to product and people teams, helping them design their own ways of working rather than selling ready-made models.
i help people and groups navigate complex contexts — in their relationship with themselves, in organizational settings, and in digital product creation.
my work moves across four fronts:
created the triple track agile approach. wrote a e-book to building products with short learning cycles and strategy and innovation with jobs to be done, in portuguese.
at timeproduto. i map product workflow stages, tools for each, and publish articles on product careers, design, dev, and ai impact — all in portuguese.
the stelow workflow and skills come from years inside real teams — consulting, leading, and experimenting across different organizations. they're not abstract theory.

🌀 liberating structures, group dynamics, and original facilitation processes. training and certification in narrative therapy (in progress). i also build ai tools that support narrative practices (practice library, landscape compass, therapist training simulator currently building tool for simulated conversation system with ai supervision for therapist training. → calionauta.com · linkedin
i create specialized ai agent skills for product discovery, qualitative research, and coding workflows. these are prompt-based tools that help agents execute specific tasks with precision.
featured: stelow — opinionated product workflow. stellar clarity. low friction.
stelow coordinates 28 skills — 14 workflow (the delivery machinery: entry, router, orchestrator + stage/execution skills) and 14 product (strategy playbooks + domain tactics, reference-only). the design draws on 2025–2026 research — parallel orchestration (CAID), cross-session learning (Cat), visual review gates (Plannotator), AI-aware mutation testing. i also document 16 known limitations of what AI still gets wrong, even with this structure. it's designed to amplify human judgment, not replace it.
state mechanics run through stelow's own CLI (scripts/stelow: status/advance/doctor/seed/schema/ask) — no host-specific code. the 14 workflow skills ship inside bb-plugin-stelow (kanban board + inbox + bb stelow worker CLI, auto-synced from the stelow repo); the 14 product skills install standalone via npx skills add calionauta/stelow.

I set the stage upstream — questions, critiques, planning convos, detailed scopes. Then the AI runs inside the fences. I still sneak in when something feels off. The results surprise me more often than not.
