Every Harness Will Become A Claw — Sam Bhagwat, Mastra Jul 21, 2026 · 15:36 AI agents are evolving from local 'Harnesses' to persistent, always-on services called 'Claws.' This shift requires adding initiative and external connectivity, fundamentally changing how we build developer tools.

Build context

What Is Context Engineering? Why It Matters for AI Agents Aug 11, 2026 · 9:57 Context Engineering is the critical practice of structuring information passed to LLMs and AI agents. Learn how optimizing context, rather than just writing better prompts, improves reliability and reduces hallucinations in complex AI systems. The fundamentals of Agentic Coding (AKA Vibe Coding) - Theodor René Carlsen - NDC Copenhagen 2026 Aug 12, 2026 · 15:42 AI coding tools rely on three parts: models (the brain), harnesses, and tools. The agent uses a feedback loop where the model generates an intention, which the harness executes. The Rise of CaaS: Context-as-a-Service for Agentic AI — Omer Primor, Bright Data Aug 14, 2026 · 22:20 The web is no longer just a source of data; we can look at it as a source of context for knowledge work using AI agents. This leads to Context-as-a-Service (CaaS).

Context Engineering for AI Agents: 4 Failure Modes to Avoid Oct 15, 2026 · 10:21 Context engineering is crucial for AI agents. Learn about context rot and four failure modes—Poisoning, Distraction, Confusion, and Clash—and how to improve agent reliability by deliberately pruning context. Demand-Driven Context: What 300 Incidents Reveal About Tribal Knowledge - Raj Navakoti Oct 13, 2026 · 37:20 DDC is a methodology that uses AI agents to fail on real production incidents, systematically identifying and curating the minimum necessary knowledge context. This approach treats incident data as knowledge tests, moving beyond static runbooks to a 'living context.' 5 Concepts to Know for Coding with AI Agents Oct 12, 2026 · 10:03 AI is changing software development from manual coding to architectural orchestration. Learn the five concepts—Spec-Driven Development, Context Engineering, and Loop Engineering—needed to master AI agents and build robust systems.
