Agent Loop EngineeringPlan-and-Execute vs ReAct: Which Loop WinsThe plan and execute vs react debate usually picks the wrong winner. Here's a side-by-side teardown of both loops on the same task, and the honest answer about when each one loses.August 22, 2026·8 min read
Agent Loop EngineeringThe Observe Step: Feeding Tool Results Back to the ModelWhy does your agent keep ignoring what its tools return? Nine times out of ten the agent loop observation step is malformed. Here's a real case and the fix that made an agent 'smart' overnight.August 22, 2026·8 min read
Agent Loop EngineeringPreventing Infinite Loops in AI AgentsMost AI agent infinite loop prevention fails because it guards the wrong signal. Here's a loop that spins forever, why the obvious fix doesn't work, and the check that actually stops it.August 22, 2026·8 min read
Agent Loop EngineeringWhen to Break the Agent Loop: Stopping ConditionsAn agent once ran 240 iterations on a task that needed four, and billed accordingly. Good agent loop stopping conditions would have caught it at six. Here's how to build them.August 21, 2026·8 min read
Agent Loop EngineeringPerceive-Plan-Act: The Classic Agent CycleMost agent guides push straight to ReAct and skip the perceive plan act loop entirely. That's backwards. Here's a real case where the older, simpler cycle beat the trendy one.August 21, 2026·8 min read

AI AgentsThe AI Agent Prompt Library Every Team NeedsSix engineers, six copies of 'the good system prompt,' and nobody could say which one was in production. An AI agent prompt library ends that chaos. Here's the weak setup, why it fails, and what to build instead.August 21, 2026·8 min read
AI AgentsScaling AI Agents to Thousands of UsersMost advice on scaling AI agents is about servers. But servers aren't what breaks first. This case study shows what actually fails when an agent goes from hundreds to thousands of users, and how to fix it.August 21, 2026·8 min read
AI AgentsAI Agent Compliance and Audit TrailsCould you prove what your agent did last Tuesday, for one user, if a regulator asked? An AI agent audit trail is how you answer yes. This guide shows you what to record and how to make it tamper-evident.August 21, 2026·8 min read
