Customizing OpenSpec: Bridging Superpowers into Spec Workflows

Follow OpenSpec’s three customization levels, then use the community superpowers-bridge schema to show how Superpowers skills map onto an Artifact DAG—without forking either tool’s source—plus entry gates and anti-patterns.

The Nine Types of Claude Code Skills: From Personal Prompts to Org-Level Agent Capability

Anthropic's internal experience with hundreds of skills shows: a skill is not a Markdown prompt, it's an explorable capability package — verification skills should come before code-generation skills.

Reading the Coding Agent Market and Its Benchmarks (2026-06)

Artificial Analysis's Coding Agent Index combines DeepSWE, Terminal-Bench, and SWE-Atlas-QnA — a high Index score doesn't mean it fits your workflow; it needs to be read by task type.

Claude Code vs. Codex: Comparing the Official Best Practices

Both official guides converge on the same operating model: context first, plan when ambiguity is high, verify with runnable checks, persist guidance, control permissions, and scale out only once reliable.

Harness Engineering: A Systematic Approach to Steering Agents

A harness isn't a prompting trick — it's a control system made of Guides and Sensors that raises the odds of getting it right the first time, and enables self-correction before delivery.

The AI4SD Open Source Landscape: From SDD to the Outer Loop

The AI software delivery open-source ecosystem is organized into six layers: SDD specs, Harness/Skills, context orchestration, task decomposition, agent platforms, and Outer Loop CI/CD — pick a starting point based on what you mainly want to control.

LLM Cost and Deployment Fundamentals: The Model Gives You Capability, the Workflow Decides the Bill

The LLM bill = model unit price × token volume × workflow amplification factor — the same review feature can cost a few cents in a single-turn chat, or several dollars in an agent loop.

Browser Automation + MCP: How an Agent "Sees" the Frontend

Playwright + an MCP Server lets a coding agent actually "see" and "operate" a browser — one of the most underrated capabilities in the AI4SE toolchain.

The MCP Protocol: A Standard Interface for Agent Tool Chains

The Model Context Protocol is becoming the standard that connects agents to the real world. Understanding MCP's design philosophy is what lets you actually use it well — not just install a few MCP servers.
