AI Agents Don’t Need More Context β€” They Need Typed Context

24 August 2026 at 12:00

AI agents don’t just have a context problemβ€”they have a context typing problem. When instructions, memory, retrieved evidence, and tool outputs are flattened into one string, their semantic boundaries can disappear. I built a lightweight, zero-dependency Python runtime that keeps those boundaries explicit, tracks provenance, and rejects invalid context transformations before they reach the model. This article walks through the implementation, tests, and what this approach doesβ€”and does notβ€”guarantee.

Coding Agents Don’t Need Bigger Context Windows β€” They Need a Context Compiler

1 August 2026 at 15:00

Most coding agents treat prompt construction like retrieval: gather more files, add more context, hope the model figures it out. But that approach breaks down fast. As context grows, irrelevant code competes for attention, and when the window fills, agents start compressing their own memoryβ€”often mid-task. What looks like β€œforgetting” is usually just degraded context. This article explores a different approach: treating prompt construction like a compiler that decides what to keep, what to reduce, and what to discard entirely.
