AI AGENTS

Most agent tool APIs are just REST endpoints with nicer names. Production agents need intent-shaped tools that compress workflows, reduce context, and return reviewable receipts.

Skills turn a general coding agent into a trained teammate by packaging runbooks, scripts, examples, and domain-specific judgment into reusable instructions.

Warp going open source is not just a terminal story. It is a signal that AI coding tools are shifting from chat UX toward agent operations, where planning, execution, review, and feedback loops live close to the shell.

I told an agent to improve the site every 10 minutes and went to sleep. Here is what 12 new repos, 60 PRs, and three goofs taught me about overnight orchestration.

A practical architecture for multi-step Claude agents. Loop patterns, state management, error recovery, and the production gotchas that turn a five-step demo into a 20 percent success rate at scale.

Build MCP servers that connect Claude to your databases, APIs, and tools. Architecture, TypeScript SDK code, debugging, and the production gaps the spec doesn't cover.

Master tool use in the Claude API. Schema design, retry logic, multi-step loops, and the failure modes that only show up at 10k calls a day.

Five worked examples showing how the new Developers Digest products plug into each other. Real agent filesystems, auto-snapshots, gated skill libraries, eval suites, and a recursive MCP host.

agentfs is filesystem-shaped storage for AI agents. Postgres-backed on Neon, no cold starts, no exec by design. Pay-only plans start at twenty dollars.

Ten private tools shipped overnight - observability, skills, hooks, prompts, and evals - aimed at the agent infrastructure gap small teams keep falling into.

The math of agent pipelines is brutal. 85% reliability per step compounds to about 20% at 10 steps. Here is why long chains collapse in production, and the six patterns the field has converged on to fight the decay.

From single-agent baselines to multi-level hierarchies, these are the seven patterns for wiring AI agents together in production. Each with a decision rule, an implementation sketch, and the tradeoffs that actually matter.

Five managed-agent providers, five pricing models, zero unified cost attribution. If you're running agents overnight, you need FinOps you don't have yet.

Four agents, same tasks. Honest trade-offs from a developer shipping production apps with all of them.

CLAUDE.md is the highest-leverage file in any Claude Code project. Here's what goes in one, what doesn't, and the patterns that actually ship.

Autocomplete wrote the line. Agents write the pull request. The shift from Copilot to Claude Code, Cursor Agent, and Devin - explained with links to the docs that prove every claim.

MCP is the USB-C of AI agents. What the Model Context Protocol is, why Anthropic built it, and how to install your first server in Claude Code or Cursor. Fact-checked against the official MCP spec.

Claude Code is Anthropic's AI coding agent for your terminal. What it does, how it works, how it compares to Cursor and Codex, and how to ship your first feature with it. Fact-checked against official docs.

A practical security playbook for running Codex cloud tasks safely in 2026 using OpenAI docs: internet access controls, domain allowlists, HTTP method limits, and review workflows.

Hacker News keeps arguing about Claude Code, Codex, skills, MCP, and orchestration. Under the noise, the same four truths keep surfacing: workflows matter more than demos, verification is the bottleneck, skills beat prompts, and orchestration matters more than raw autonomy.
