agentic-engineering

Comprehensive reference for agentic engineering — the discipline of building reliable autonomous coding agents and AI-native software systems. Invoke when the user asks about designing or evaluating agent systems, harness engineering, context engineering, tool design for agents, skills, agent memory, evals, model selection for agentic work, the named architectural patterns (isolation, orchestration, feedback loops, failure recovery, multi-agent coordination), choosing between coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Devin, OpenHands, Vercel Open Agents, OpenAI Symphony, Stripe Minions, the OpenClaw ecosystem, etc.), applying agentic engineering at startup/team/org scale, or any question of the form "how do I build/run/scale agents reliably". Distilled from the automate.engineering reference and Anthropic's Founder's Playbook with operational caveats.

Build, run, and drive the agentic-engineering / automate.engineering site. Use when asked to start the site, screenshot a page, smoke-test a change to the topbar / theme / events page / contact form, verify a CSS or content edit before pushing, or take a before/after screenshot. Static site (HTML/CSS/JS) built by build.sh; driver is .claude/skills/run-agentic-engineering/smoke.mjs (Playwright Chromium against a local http-server).

Operational guidance for building an AI-native startup. Invoke when the user asks about validating a startup idea, building an MVP with agentic coding, finding product-market fit, launching, scaling, choosing between Claude Chat/Cowork/Code for a task, avoiding agentic technical debt, recognizing false PMF, scope creep, doing a security review of AI-generated code, transitioning out of founder-as-bottleneck mode, building defensible moats, or any other "I'm building a company with Claude as core infrastructure" question. Compiled from Anthropic's Founder's Playbook (May 2026, claude.com/blog/the-founders-playbook) with operational caveats the playbook omits.
