Spec Kit fans a small change out into eight-plus files. Four practical levers — inline prompts, lean templates, trimmed commands, and impact-based routing — make its specs, plans, and tasks shorter without breaking the workflow.
Frontier labs increasingly claim their models understand intent with less prompting. Here is what the evidence supports, what training changed, and how to test ask-versus-guess behavior in your own agents.
Modern production apps require many layers to maintain. A prompt-first repository adds instructions, skills, MCP, and bounded loops so agents can move faster without bypassing reliability controls.
A source-backed guide for engineers and PMs on shaping model behavior and personality across frontier LLMs and small language models, from prompts and DPO to persona vectors and distillation chains.
The MCP 2026-07-28 release candidate removes the initialize handshake and session IDs, mandates routing headers, and hardens OAuth. Here is what changes on the wire and how to migrate a remote server before the final spec ships.
A practical guide for engineers and PMs who want AI coding agents to move fast without breaking architecture decisions, module boundaries, ownership, and long-term system quality.
A practical ladder for growing a software system from one app and one database into observable, event-driven, permission-aware, AI-ready architecture.
There is no truly bulletproof system prompt. But there is a practical engineering standard for making prompts far more robust across Sonnet, Haiku, GPT, and reasoning-style models.
An exploratory, source-backed article on reverse-engineering one feature into current-state specs in the old repo, then using those artifacts to drive a safer implementation in a new repo and a new stack.
