Context engineering in deep agents: the four levers
A deep agent's ceiling is its context window. The harness ships four separate levers, and knowing which one is working decides whether a long run finishes.
ReadEssays from Soba Labs on agentic workflows, operating state, knowledge systems, and the craft of getting AI into real business processes.

ReadLangChain's deepagents harness ships planning, subagents, and a filesystem out of the box. Production still asks you to own the human gate, the evals, and the cost.
ReadWe routed our coding agents' shell commands through RTK AI, an open source CLI proxy. Verified result: 49.6% of tokens saved across 1,457 commands.
ReadSelf-reported LLM confidence is miscalibrated and clusters near certainty. Gate on a signal you can measure, then escalate the exceptions to a person.
ReadAI made writing code cheap. Architecture, verification, security, and quality are the new constraints, and that is where the real work moved.
