Agent Plugins (2 minute read)
Agent Plugins is a portable package format for reusable components that extend AI agents. Its version 1.0.0 specification defines a shared format for Agent Skills and MCP servers that compatible clients can discover and load consistently. Agent Plugins defines a small interoperability floor for the parts that can be portable across clients. Shared components can use one predictable structure, while distribution, installation, permissions, user experience, and client-specific capabilities remain under each client's control.

Study: Does topical focus make your brand more visible? (6 minute read)
Owning a topic helps AI search recommend your brand, but broad content only works when you build deep authority in each category instead of spreading shallow coverage. The study found brands earned citations in 50% of distant categories but mentions in only 25%, which suggests AI will cite broad expertise but reserve recommendations for brands that consistently cover core topics. Repeated visibility across related categories improved future brand mentions, while shallow presence across many categories reduced them. The effect varies by industry, so finance and real estate brands can test adjacent category expansion using citations as an early signal, while legal and healthcare brands need repeat brand mentions before treating a category as established.

Building an Advanced Agentic Harness (19 minute read)
An advanced agentic harness for production-sized agents is proposed here, emphasizing the need for well-structured operations through components like typed tools, directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), tiered memory, and verification hierarchies to create a reliable system capable of planning, acting, recovering, and self-evaluating. This architecture uses the composition of small, testable primitives to improve efficiency and performance while making sure the system remains extensible and adaptable.
