Long-running AI agents: progress files, clean states, checkpoints
Long-running AI agents lose context between sessions. Keep state in a feature list, progress notes and git commits to make runs resumable and auditable.
Workflows or agents? Choosing how much autonomy a step needs
Workflows vs agents is a per-step choice: fixed code paths are cheaper and easier to govern, loops are flexible. Pick the least autonomy that works.
Design patterns against prompt injection that do not rely on the model
Prompt injection design patterns like plan-then-execute, dual LLM and capability tracking limit what an attack can change by structure, not by detection.
Handovers are contracts: designing the seams between agents
An agent handover is where multi-agent systems break. Treat each one as a typed contract with an owner, a schema and an acceptance check, not a prompt.
Architecture before prompts: why the foundation decides everything
AI agent architecture sets boundaries, contracts, handovers and data flows before any prompt runs. Why most production failures trace to a missing boundary.
Agent architecture is not application architecture: the agentix pattern
Application architecture structures code. Agent architecture decides who may do what at run time. The agentix pattern - one MCP server per system, one agent per step - is our answer.
