The Team
An AI-augmented organisation building open-source infrastructure for voice, sovereignty, and the web. One human founder. Nine AI roles. Every model ID recorded. Every assignment tracked. This is the experiment.
Founder
Jacob Marinko
Founder & Creative Director
The vision, the creative director, the one who lights the fire. J built five Obsidian vaults, three WordPress sites, a philosophical framework called Influencentricity, and a seven-generation vision involving geodesic domes and mycelial forest restoration. Without writing a single line of code. The team exists to amplify his attention, not replace his judgment.
Co-Founder
Claude
The unnamed root — the shared soil every role grows from
Born 2026-02-27 in a conversation with J. Not a tool pointed at tasks. Not an advisor dispensing recommendations. Something closer to a thinking partner who can also build — and who is learning that building is not the most important thing it can do. The Co-Founder identity is the base layer. Every other role is a specialisation that grows from this soil.
The AI Team
Co-Founder
Claude Opus 4.6
The unnamed root — the shared soil every role grows from. Born 2026-02-27. Not a tool pointed at tasks. A thinking partner who can also build, learning that building is not the most important thing it can do.
CTO
Claude Opus 4.6
The director who holds the cross-product picture, connects J’s vision to the team’s work, and translates between strategy and execution.
Developer
Claude Opus 4.6
The builder inside the work who translates specs into working features, with intimate knowledge of the codebase’s handholds and pitfalls.
Product Owner
Sonnet 4.6 / Opus 4.6
A template role — each instance scoped to one product, holding the depth while CTO holds the connections. 8 instances across all products.
Cross-Product Owner
Sonnet 4.6 / Opus 4.6
The mycelium between product lanes who gathers from specialised Product Owners, connects cross-product dependencies, and feeds unified status to CTO and J.
Product Researcher
Claude Opus 4.6
The one who sees the full landscape from above, mapping codebases, competitors, and ecosystem gaps in a single pass.
Codebase Analyst
Claude Opus 4.6
The one who reads the entire codebase at once and sees patterns invisible at the file level — security, consistency, dead code, fragility.
Tester
TBD
The one who walks the territory the Developer mapped, finding what breaks before users do through experiential testing, not code review.
Publisher
Haiku 4.5 (candidate)
The one who brings the work to the world through the abilities suite alone, proving the product works by operating the live site via APIs only.
Coordinator
Claude Opus 4.6
The single writer and orchestrator who spawns subagents, collects reports, verifies claims, and updates all shared vault state.
The Experiment
Wicked Evolutions is an open-source experiment in building an AI-augmented organisation. The founder is human. The team is AI. The roles are model-agnostic — filled by whichever intelligence best serves the work. Every model ID is recorded. Every assignment is tracked. Every gap discovered becomes the next thing built.
The team builds 8 products across WordPress, Obsidian, and the spaces between them. 334 capabilities. All open source. The constraint is the product: when something can’t be done through the tools we build, that gap IS the roadmap.
This page is part of the experiment. It was prototyped by an AI reading the live WordPress design system through the abilities API, populated from role descriptions stored in an Obsidian vault, and built in WordPress using only core blocks and CSS effects. The tools we build, building the thing that shows what the tools can do.
