Other things DBHQ makes
heliograph is one of several. The rest are here so you do not have to go looking, and because a tool is easier to trust when you can see what else the people who wrote it have shipped.
Sites you can open now
| bbs.dbhq.uk | The world wide web, as a bulletin board. Rust compiled to WebAssembly, CP437, 80x25 |

Skills for Claude Code and Codex
Free and open source, each one installed with a single command and no sign-up. heliograph itself ships as one of them.
/plugin marketplace add dbhq-uk/marketplace
The marketplace carries the full set, and skills.dbhq.uk describes what each one is for, a page per skill. Among them: research that says when it cannot settle a question, a repository coherence checker, Microsoft 365 mail and calendar, Trello, Garmin, and compiler-exact .NET code search.

The company
DBHQ is Daniel Grimes: senior engineering delivery, mostly in regulated estates, which is where the constraint behind heliograph came from in the first place. The tools here are free because they were paid for by the work that produced them.
