AI Agents Need Exploration Checkpoints
Exploration checkpoints let AI agents prove what they discovered before acting, reducing premature exploitation, brittle plans, and generic world models.
AI & TechnologyWriting
Thoughts on design, development, AI infrastructure, and building products.
AI Agent Safety Starts With Small Software
AI agent safety starts with small software: smaller tools, plain files, narrow permissions, and faster tests give coding agents fewer places to hide bugs.
AI & TechnologyAI Coding Agents Need Smaller Review Surfaces
AI coding agents overwhelm reviewers with giant diffs. Smaller review surfaces keep engineers engaged, verification-focused, and accountable before merge.
AI & TechnologyAI Agent Skills Need Behavioral Audits, Not Pass Rates
AI agent skills can change behavior while pass rates stay flat. Behavioral audits compare traces, declared capabilities, and side effects before trust.
AI & TechnologyRust's Draft LLM Policy Draws the Right Line
Rust's draft LLM usage policy allows AI for learning, review, and experiments while banning generated comments, docs, and human-review shortcuts in Rust.
AI & TechnologyAgent Code Search Has a Token Budget
Semble turns code search into a context-budget problem: hybrid retrieval, ranked snippets, and token savings beat grep-and-read loops for coding agents.
AI & TechnologyCodex Hooks Make the Harness Real
Codex hooks now span twelve lifecycle events behind hash-based trust review. The config shapes, blocking mechanics, and control system the agent harness needs.
AI & TechnologyOpen Source Is Not a Security Boundary
GDS guidance on AI vulnerability discovery gets open-source security right: hide less by default, fix faster, and make exceptions explicit with evidence.
AI & TechnologyAgent Skills Need Package Managers
Agent skills, MCP servers, prompts, hooks, and commands now behave like dependencies. Teams need manifests, lockfiles, policy gates, review, and rollback.
AI & TechnologyAgents Need Supervision Surfaces
Agent supervision surfaces turn autonomous AI work into inspectable operations: approvals, traces, evidence, recovery, and review queues beat better chat.
AI & TechnologyHTML Is the Format AI Agents Want
Thariq Shihipar's HTML examples show why agent output format matters: spatial structure, interaction, and visual evidence beat flattened Markdown.
AI & TechnologyAgentic Design Is Control Surface Design
Agentic design is not a prettier chat box. It is the control surface that makes autonomous software visible, interruptible, auditable, and worthy.
