Concepts

Ideas, frameworks, mental models

  • llm-wiki-pattern — LLM-maintained wiki where the LLM writes all pages
  • coding-agent — Six-component harness (context, cache, tools, compaction, memory, subagents) that wraps an LLM for coding
  • thin-harness-fat-skills — Keep the harness minimal; encode domain intelligence in reusable markdown skill files
  • latent-vs-deterministic — The judgment/trust line every agent step sits on; artifact-dependency rule; three-column ownership
  • claude-code-skills — Nine skill types, writing tips, and distribution patterns for Claude Code skills
  • dimensional-modeling — Kimball’s methodology for DWH design using fact + dimension tables
  • star-schema — Central fact table surrounded by denormalized dimension tables
  • fact-table-types — Transactional, periodic snapshot, accumulating snapshot, factless, aggregate
  • slowly-changing-dimensions — SCD types 0–7 for handling dimension attribute history
  • etl-architecture — Extract-transform-load pipeline that feeds a data warehouse
  • medallion-architecture — Bronze/Silver/Gold layered pipeline combining Kimball modeling with a semantic layer
  • semantic-layer — Governed metric definitions as first-class database objects above the dimensional model
  • agent-sandbox — Per-user isolated execution environments with S3-backed mounts and AWS ABAC credentials
  • context-normalization — Converting heterogeneous source data into uniform markdown/CSV/JSON for agent reasoning
  • s3-first-architecture — S3 as durable source of truth with PostgreSQL as a query-optimized read layer
  • agent-evaluation — Domain-specific eval suites and eval-driven development for production AI agents
  • model-context-protocol — Open standard giving AI models universal access to external tools, data, and services
  • agentic-engineering — Four-layer framework (Configuration, Capability, Orchestration, Guardrails) for reliable coding agents
  • prototype-and-prune — AI-era product development replacing stage-gate planning with rapid parallel experimentation
  • agent-memory — Three-layer memory model: MEMORY.md, episodic-memory (vectors), QMD (on-device search)
  • product-operating-model — Marty Cagan’s framework: empowered teams, outcomes over outputs, continuous discovery
  • design-taste-craft — Dylan Field’s three-part distinction: taste (preferences), craft (micro+macro), point of view (unique insight)
  • barrels-and-ammunition — Rabois’s hiring framework: barrels own outcomes end-to-end; ratio of barrels determines parallel initiative capacity
  • agent-first-software — Software built for agent consumption: 100–1000x agent volume, semantic selection, enterprise diffusion gap
  • auto-research — Autonomous agent loop: objective + metric + boundaries; program.MD; SETI@home distributed pattern
  • product-trio-agentic-era — How PM/Designer/Engineer roles evolve as agents absorb execution; small team and startup contexts
  • dark-code — Emergent, unattributable production behavior from agent runtime decisions; the governance failure mode
  • context-engineering — 20+ year discipline of bridging human intent and machine understanding; four-era evolution model
  • agentic-system-failure-modes — Six production failure patterns that silently destroy agents; diagnostic framework from 2 years in production
  • ai-agent-observability — OTel GenAI conventions, trace primitives, tool landscape; direct response to dark code accountability gap
  • agent-human-collaboration — Trust/control axes, work-as-DAG, high-bandwidth artifacts over chat for complex agent work
