App Intents Are Apple's New API to Your App
I shipped an App Intent in Water on Feb 8, 2026. Here's what Apple Intelligence wants from third-party apps in iOS 26, and why App Intents are the contract that matters.
AI & TechnologyWriting
Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
The Cleanup Layer Is the Real AI Agent Market
Charlie Labs pivoted from building agents to cleaning up after them. The AI agent market is moving from generation to proof. Cleanup is the durable layer.
AI & TechnologyThe Repo Shouldn't Get to Vote on Its Own Trust
Two Claude Code trust dialog bypass CVEs in 37 days reveal a load-order failure. One invariant fixes it: interpret no workspace byte until the path is trusted.
AI & TechnologyReward the Tool Before the Answer
AI agents fail when answers claim tool work that never happened. Four failure modes and the rule that catches them, with a tool-supervised RL parallel.
AI & TechnologyThe Workbench I Carry
Steve Jobs's philosophy of invisible craft, operationalized: whole-widget integrity, refusal, and care inside an AI harness built on Claude Code.
AI & TechnologyThe Agent Operator's Handbook: Supervising What You Can't See
Operating autonomous AI agents is a new discipline. Five responsibilities, a supervision stack, and an intervention framework define what operators do.
AI & TechnologyThe Design Engineer's Agent Stack
Design engineers need agent infrastructure that enforces visual consistency, typography discipline, color compliance, and taste. Here are the six components.
AI & TechnologyTaste Is a Technical System
Taste decomposes into constraints, evaluation criteria, pattern recognition, and coherence checks. Each component maps to engineering infrastructure.
AI & TechnologyChat Is the Wrong Interface for AI Agents
Chat works for prompting but fails for agent operations. Six interface patterns replace the scrolling text window with real control surfaces.
AI & TechnologyCybersecurity Is Proof of Work: AI Attacks at $12,500 a Run
Claude Mythos completed a 32-step corporate network attack simulation in 3 of 10 tries. Each attempt cost $12,500 in tokens. Security is now a spending problem.
AI & TechnologyRuntime Defense for Tool-Augmented Agents
ClawGuard demonstrates deterministic tool-call interception works. The Vercel telemetry incident shows why. Runtime defense is the enforceable layer.
AI & TechnologyYour Agent Has Memory You Didn't Write
ACL 2026 paper measures LLM memory that existing evals miss: unconscious behavioral adaptation. Top models score under 66%. The asymmetry matters.
