Prompts go in, output comes out, and the decisions made in between are hidden from view.

Coding guidelines and standards for agents need to be a little different—more explicit, demonstrative of patterns, and obvious.

API and network traffic get all the press, but some folks are still trying to build a better upload scanner.
