The golden rules of agent-first product engineering

This article outlines five golden rules for "agent-first" product engineering, advocating for building products where AI agents are treated as a primary interaction surface rather than an afterthought. Key principles include enabling agents to perform all user actions, exposing product functionality at an agent's natural level of abstraction (e.g., SQL), and front-loading universal context specific to the product.

The Brand Age

Facing obsolescence from quartz movements, Japanese competition, and currency shifts, the Swiss watch industry dramatically transformed from precision instrument makers to luxury brand peddlers. This involved prioritizing distinctive, often inconvenient, design and heavy brand advertising over traditional engineering excellence like accuracy and thinness. The article argues this transformation is a perfect case study for "the brand age," where brand becomes paramount as technological advancement.

What you’re actually writing when you write a SKILL.md

Skills for AI agents are loader specifications, not merely long prompts, operating on a principle of progressive disclosure with three distinct loading levels to manage context window cost. Understanding this architecture is crucial, as content placement directly impacts efficiency and prevents common antipatterns like monolithic skills or mismanaged metadata. Proper skill design optimizes context usage, improves portability, and ensures consistent performance, especially when dealing with envir

llm-wiki

The "LLM Wiki" proposes a pattern for building persistent knowledge bases where an LLM incrementally creates and maintains a structured, interlinked wiki of markdown files from raw sources. This approach differs from typical RAG by having the LLM perform all the "bookkeeping"—summarizing, cross-referencing, and updating—allowing knowledge to compound and stay current, rather than being re-derived on every query. The system consists of immutable raw sources, the LLM-maintained wiki, and a guiding
