I built a system that automatically discovers, verifies, and applies relevant requirements from earlier interactions without asking the user where they came from.

A context window can be technically complete and still describe a world that no longer exists. I built a deterministic benchmark to measure the cost of acting on stale context.

I built a prompt dependency graph that separates everything a component can reach from the smaller set that actually needs targeted evaluation.

A lightweight runtime layer that separates instructions, evidence, memory, and tool output before they reach the model

AI agents don’t just have a context problem—they have a context typing problem. When instructions, memory, retrieved evidence, and tool outputs are flattened into one string, their semantic boundaries can disappear. I built a lightweight, zero-dependency Python runtime that keeps those boundaries explicit, tracks provenance, and rejects invalid context transformations before they reach the model. This article walks through the implementation, tests, and what this approach does—and does not—guarantee.

Adding more communication pathways between agents doesn’t necessarily improve multi-agent performance. In a controlled, reproducible experiment across 50 runs, recovery remained remarkably stable from 20% to 100% relationship density. But as the network became denser, the fraction of edges actually used fell sharply—revealing a gap between configured connectivity and behavioral connectivity.

Most coding agents treat prompt construction like retrieval: gather more files, add more context, hope the model figures it out. But that approach breaks down fast. As context grows, irrelevant code competes for attention, and when the window fills, agents start compressing their own memory—often mid-task. What looks like “forgetting” is usually just degraded context. This article explores a different approach: treating prompt construction like a compiler that decides what to keep, what to reduce, and what to discard entirely.

Prompt engineering helps you write better prompts—but it doesn’t help you change them safely. This article explores a common production failure where a simple variable rename breaks every live call, and introduces a lightweight static analysis tool that treats prompts like contracts, catching breaking changes before they ship.
