Why Model Context Protocol Wins the Protocol Wars
Standard input, JSON-RPC, and explicit boundaries. Why the quiet simplicity of MCP outlasts proprietary agent plugin APIs.
Methodology
Agent Skills vs System Prompts: The Engineering Difference
Why dumping 4,000-token system prompts degrades model reasoning, and how file-scoped skills provide deterministic boundaries without context pollution.
Security and QA
Why We Run Every Agent Tool in Ephemeral Sandboxes
Scraped README files and unverified stdio MCP servers are ripe for prompt injection and token exfiltration. Here is our automated audit pipeline.
Performance
The Zero-Token Context Budget: Designing Fast Agent Workflows
Why benchmark scores mean nothing if your agent takes 45 seconds to inspect a repository. The case for deterministic tooling.
