The Knowledge Base Strategy: Giving AI Agents a Memory That Compounds
Why AI coding agents produce dramatically better development plans when they have a structured wiki about your architecture, decisions, and concepts — and an open-source template to build one yourself.
Agentic AI
How to integrate AI agents into real engineering workflows — from MCP to guardrails to the knowledge base that makes it all work.
I Integrated AI Agents Into Our Data Pipelines. Here's What Actually Worked.
The agents were good. But they hit a ceiling — and the thing that broke through it wasn't a better model.
MCP, Agentic Workflows, and Guardrails: A Production Field Guide
What Model Context Protocol actually looks like in a real engineering workflow — context servers, guardrails, and integration patterns.
