Matt Pocock's 25 Agent Skills: Align First, Then Write Code
Matt Pocock’s catalog bundles 25 small, composable agent skills: 18 for engineering and 7 for productivity. Here’s how the two install paths differ, how human- and model-triggered skills divide responsibility, and how the pack handles alignment, specs, implementation, feedback, and upkeep.
A Practical Guide to Agent Evals: Don’t Just Look at What It Says—Look at What the World Becomes
Agent evals must verify not only the response, but whether the world actually changed. Anthropic shows how to combine graders, isolate environments, and maintain an eval suite over time—and why 20–50 real failures are enough to start.
Frontier AI Labs Do Not Just Need Geniuses. They Need Map-Makers.
Getting into a frontier AI lab is often framed as research skill plus trench engineering. Underneath, both are about making progress when the map is incomplete.
The Hard Part of Agents Is Not the Model. It Is the Engineering Floor.
A practical agent engineering guide covering control loops, harnesses, context engineering, tool design, memory, multi-agent systems, evals, tracing, and safety boundaries.
