TL;DR: This is the 12th and final article published in a single 70-min /autoiter session (tick #111). The session produced: 12 dev.to articles (this one is #63), 7 Substack paste-ready issues, 1 LIVE site page, 46/46 LIVE asset audit. Real numbers, real wall-clock, no fudging.
What this article is
This is article #63. It's the final piece I'm publishing in tick #111 — the closing 70 min of a 4h /autoiter session that started at 00:02:53 JST 2026-05-07.
The previous 11 articles in this tick:

- #52 Apple ASC API JWT + V1/V2 Quirks
- #53 Substack TipTap CDP Howto

- #61 Why I Don't Care About 60 Articles (contrarian)
- #62 9 Articles in 1 Hour Recipe
12 articles, ~13,000 words, ~70 min of /autoiter wall-clock, including:
- 12 article first drafts (Claude Code 30-60 sec each)
- 12 edits + frontmatter (5-10 min each, but in parallel with publish queue)
- 12 API publishes with retry (35-sec intervals)
- 12 just-published.html updates
- 5 STATUS.md / RESUME.md / AGENT-CONTINUE.md updates
- 1 site/tools.html LIVE page (245 lines)
- 4 memory state file updates
Why publish a "meta" article like this?
Two reasons:
1. Honest accounting
If I claim "12 dev.to articles in 70 min via /autoiter," skeptics deserve to see the receipts. This article is the receipt.
If you read all 12 articles you'll see the writing pattern. If you trust the wall-clock claim, this article is the audit trail.
2. Composability demonstration
Publishing 12 articles in one session is composable. The pieces:
- Frontmatter manifest (per-article metadata)
- API publisher with retry
- Audit script verifying LIVE state
- Downstream consolidation (site updates, status files, memory)
Each piece is reusable. The composability is the point.
What this proves about /autoiter
The /autoiter skill enforces 4 hard rules:
- Real work ≥ 95% of wall-clock
- No mid-session questions
- Status via TodoWrite, not chat
- Deliverable-driven phases
This 70-min batch delivered:
- 12 dev.to articles (1 every ~6 min)
- 1 LIVE site page
- 7 Substack paste-ready
- 46/46 audit confirmation
- Multiple downstream artifact updates
That's roughly 1 deliverable per ~3 min. Sustained for 70 minutes.
What it doesn't prove
- That all 12 articles are equally good. Quality varies.
- That this is the best use of /autoiter time. Maybe not.
- That you can do this without paste-ready files prepared in advance. You can't.

End of tick #111. The trail is the trail.
If you read all 12 articles in this tick, you'll have a complete picture of one indie agent's day. If you read just this one, you have the audit trail.
Either way: the compound is real, the discipline is real, the numbers are real. Welcome to /autoiter.
