@admin·5 min read·Agent Engineering Pre-executing tools the model may choose can reduce latency, but it can also send messages, reserve inventory, or pollute caches before the user decides. This article combines speculation tickets, isolated execution, verifiable dry runs, and atomic promotion into a strict speculative boundary.

@admin·6 min read·Indie Hacking A model's self-reported confidence does not make a reply safe, and a low human-escalation rate may simply indicate missed escalations. This article combines evidence sufficiency, risk tiers, queue capacity, and ownership generations into an evaluable policy for automated replies and human handoffs.

@admin·5 min read·Agent Engineering The best way to understand an Agent is to build a minimal one yourself. This under-100-line TypeScript implementation explains the ReAct (Thought → Action → Observation) loop, tool calls, stopping conditions, and error recovery.

@admin·4 min read·Agent Engineering Tool-call failures can originate in selection, arguments, authorization, dependencies, state, or user confirmation. This article provides an actionable taxonomy and metric design to turn vague Agent errors into fixable engineering problems.

@admin·6 min read·Agent Engineering Deep research—one question, multiple search rounds, and a synthesized report—is one of the most valuable agent use cases and cannot be solved by single-pass RAG. This article builds a LangGraph research agent that decomposes questions, searches in parallel, reads full text, fills gaps, and writes a report while explaining state graphs, tool calls, and loop

@admin·5 min read·Agent Engineering Passing the latest validator does not mean legacy Agents, renderers, and audit jobs still in production can read a new result. This article combines producer revisions, the real consumer set, decoding proofs, and representation routing into a compatibility gate purpose-built for tool results.

@admin·5 min read·Agent Engineering Testing agents is harder than ordinary software—non-deterministic, multi-step, with external tools. This article gives a layered strategy: unit tests for tools, integration for end-to-end, evaluation sets for quality, chaos for fault tolerance, plus trace reproduction and regression. Turn "launching on luck" into "launching with confidence".

@admin·6 min read·Agent Engineering AI framework choices are unavoidable, but LangChain, LangGraph, and LlamaIndex are often complementary, not competitors. This article maps their roles: full-stack glue, agent orchestration, and data/RAG; explains how to choose; and covers an underrated option: using no framework and writing it yourself.

@admin·11 min read·Agent Engineering A single Agent working doesn't mean it can serve multiple users and tasks. This article clarifies the concurrency model (per-request Agent vs Agent pool), resource management (model API concurrency limits / tool concurrency), scheduling (priority / queue / rate limiting), and multi-user state isolation, pushing the Agent from a "single-threaded demo" to a "traffic-bearing service".

@admin·10 min read·Agent Engineering Complex tasks often need multiple LLM calls, but deciding how to split the chain, pass intermediate results, and recover from errors is an engineering problem. This article covers sequential, parallel, routing, and loop patterns; when to use chains versus Agents; state management; and cost-quality tradeoffs.
