Vibe Coding vs Agentic Coding: They're Not the Same Job
Choose exploratory human-reviewed work or production agent discipline based on who exercises judgment after the code is generated.
Keep Your Agent From Becoming PR Spam
Keep autonomous contributions useful with outbound action budgets and quality gates enforced below the prompt.
Corruption Compounds Over Delegation
Preserve caveats and edge cases across multi-agent handoffs with structured artifacts and deterministic checks at every boundary.
Your Agent's Memory Shouldn't Live Inside One Tool
Keep accumulated agent context portable with plain files, owned databases, and an export path that survives a change of harness.
Your Verifier Is Fake If It Shares Instructions With Your Agent
Make verification independent through separate processes, instructions, memory, and role boundaries enforced by the task system.
Model Monoculture Is a Single Point of Failure
Design a heterogeneous agent fleet that degrades by role when one model or provider becomes unavailable.
When a Leaked API Key Authorizes an Agent: The First Ten Minutes Are Different
Respond to a leaked agent credential as a context and authority breach, not merely an inference-billing problem.
When the Buyer Is an Agent
Build a machine-readable catalog and callable action surface so an agent can discover, evaluate, and purchase without guessing at a visual storefront.
Latency Per Correct Output: The Multi-Agent KPI That Architecture Posts Skip
Measure latency per correct result from task and artifact data instead of treating more agents or more activity as evidence of efficiency.
Explicit Success Criteria, Not Vibes: Why Your Agent Needs a Transaction Log
Name the stopping condition at each step and record the evidence, so “done” is a queryable transaction rather than an agent's opinion.
Harness Discipline: Why Mass Claude Code Rollouts Blow the AI Budget
Control agent spend with pre-action gates, retry budgets, scoped tools, and a circuit breaker enforced below the prompt.
Agentic Coding Without the Trap: Why Orchestration Is the Code Review You Need
Close the review gap with an independent process, explicit gates, and tools the code-writing agent cannot persuade to accept its own work.
