When Agents Should Stop: Designing Safety Boundaries That Work
Stop conditions are a feature, not a failure state. Budget caps, progress checks, and exit contracts that make autonomous agents quit cleanly.
Building Agent Skills: A Pattern for Discoverable Capabilities
Moving beyond basic tool-calling to a composable skill pattern that makes agent capabilities discoverable and reusable across different frameworks.
Privacy-Routed LLM Inference: Keeping Sensitive Data Out of the Cloud
How to build a routing layer for AI agents that ensures sensitive data stays on local hardware while leveraging cloud LLMs for non-private tasks.
Cognitive Memory for Agents: Vector Search vs Activation-Based Recall
Comparing vector databases and activation-based memory for AI agents. Trade-offs in latency, scale, and interpretability.
Three-Layer Safety for Autonomous Agents: Stopping the Infinite Loop
Moving beyond prompt engineering to implement token-level schema enforcement, pre-execution gates, and shell-safe execution pipelines for AI agents.
