- Your Multi-Agent System Is an Org Chart Cognition said don't build them. Anthropic said do. A year on, they converge on the one question that decides it.
- Self-Improvement Is Release Engineering Your agent can rewrite its own memory and skills overnight. The hard part is whether you can see what changed and take it back. That makes self-improvement a release-engineering problem.
- Skills Are Package Management for Your AI There are more than 1.6 million you can install. You need about twenty. Software already solved that problem once.
- Remembers Everything, Learns Nothing You gave your agent a memory and it still repeats the same mistake. What makes it improve is a loop that tests each failure and turns the ones that recur into procedures.
- Same Model, Different Product: The Case for Harness Engineering Harness engineering, the code wrapped around an AI model, now drives more of the performance gap than the model you pick.
- Prompting Isn't Writing, It's Compilation If you treat the prompt as a spec and the model as a renderer, quality stops coming from more words and starts coming from better constraints.
