Why your agent needs a skill graph, not a prompt chain
Declarative routing is dead. TOML DAGs give agents deterministic, auditable decision paths that prompt chains can't match.
MCP beyond hello world: production patterns for tool servers
Model Context Protocol is more than a spec — it's an architecture. Here's how to build tool servers that don't fall over at scale.
Agent evals that actually matter: beyond vibe checks
Most agent evals test the wrong thing. Here's a framework for measuring what matters: reliability, cost, and user trust.
Context window economics: every token has a cost you're ignoring
Your 200K context window isn't free real estate. Here's how to budget tokens across system prompt, tools, memory, and conversation.
Multi-agent handoff patterns that don't lose context
Handing off between agents is where most multi-agent systems fail. Three patterns for keeping context intact across the handoff boundary.
The good, the bad, and the ugly of AI agents in 2026
An honest take on where agents actually are: what works, what's hype, and what's genuinely dangerous.
