Practice updates

Your tools update every week. Your team’s practice doesn’t.

We work in agentic engineering every day. Each update takes what actually changed and hands it to your team in a form they can run.

A written piece explaining what the trend actually means. Exercises that end with the technique working in your own project. Files that stay in place afterwards.

I. How fast this moves

Agentic engineering moves this fast

One practice, renamed four times in five months. Each of these arrived with working tools behind it, and each one changed what a competent team does day to day.

May

Context engineering. Managing what the agent knows. What goes into its window on each turn, and what is kept out.

June

Harness engineering. Building the system that produces the work, instead of steering each output by hand.

July

Skills. Instructions committed to the repository, so a team shares one way of working instead of each person’s own prompt.

August

Loop engineering. Writing down what counts as done, and letting the agent keep working until it gets there.

September

Not named yet. Which is the point. Following it closely enough to choose is our job rather than yours.

II. What one update contains

Read it. Do it. Keep it.

Three parts, and the update works each one through in full.

Read

What the trend actually means. What it is, what it is good for, and where it does not work. Worked through on real code, not described.

Do

Exercises your team runs. Short exercises that end with the technique working in your own project, not just in a demo of ours.

Keep

It keeps working afterwards. Your team watches the technique run on their own project, and the hooks and skills that made it run stay in place, ready for the next piece of work.

III. How we make one

Nothing goes into an update until we have run it

i.
We work in it every day

Releases, research, and our own use of these tools across customer engineering work. Sorting what holds up in real code from what does not is the work.

ii.
We run it before we write about it

Every technique is measured in our own repositories first. The first update shipped with more than sixty recorded runs behind it, in throwaway repositories, every result written down.

iii.
You get the part that matters

The update says what changed and what your team should do about it, in ordinary language, with the working files under it.

IV. The first update

Loop engineering, the first update

The page below is the teaser: what the technique is, and the example project it runs on. The update itself adds the four exercises that put each piece into a codebase you own, and the files that stay there afterwards.

Practice updates

One update at a time, with no commitment

Updates run each month, or every other month, whichever suits your team. You take one and decide from there. Everything arrives as files your team installs and runs, so nothing depends on us being in the room.
