- The Observability ManifestoDefinitiveObservability is the discipline of designing systems that can be interrogated.
- The Unified ArchitectureDeep DiveA unified agent architecture is an organizational principle. The technology follows from the org chart, not the other way around.
- RAG Knowledge EnginesQuick ReadRetrieval-augmented generation as a four-stage pipeline. Each stage instrumented; each stage falsifiable.
- Agent SystemsQuick ReadAgents as composable units of policy, tools, and memory. Orchestration over class hierarchies.
- Content CompilerQuick ReadA compiler is a sequence of typed passes. Content as source code; the compiler is a real engineering artifact.
- Evals & ObservabilityQuick ReadEvals are regression tests for model systems. The corpus is the spec and the spans are the proof.
- Systems DesignQuick ReadPorts and adapters, applied to agentic systems. One core; many surfaces; zero duplication.
- Retrieval ToolingQuick ReadThe retrieval surface decomposed into vector, lexical, graph, and rerank components with explicit fallback.
