# Abil Shrestha

Product-minded design engineer. I help early-stage teams execute fast and build polished software experiences.

Design engineer based in New York.

## Projects

- [Shaddercn](https://shaddercn.com) (2026): Design system for agents.
- [Tracer](https://github.com/Abil-Shrestha/tracer) (2025): Issue tracker for coding agent.
- [V0 templates](https://v0.app/@abilshr) (2025): Collection of V0 templates.

## Writing

- [Droid Maxxing](https://www.abilshr.com/writing/droid-maxxing) (2025-12-01): Make the best use of Droids
- [Ampcode — A Better Architecture for Coding Agents](https://www.abilshr.com/writing/rebuilding-ampcode) (2025-10-25): After reverse engineering AMPcode, I discovered three key architectural choices that make it consistently outperform other coding agents: specialized sub-agents, unified tool interfaces, and multi-model collaboration.
- [Tracer — Solving Context Loss in AI Coding Agents](https://www.abilshr.com/writing/tracer-issue-tracker) (2025-10-15): AI coding agents lose context across sessions. Markdown TODOs don't cut it. Here's how Tracer solves this with dependency-aware task tracking.
