Sprint 7 is closed . The goal was specialized engineering agents — architecture, code review, documentation, debugging, and onboarding — built on skills, memory, and MCP. Agents gather evidence and return structured briefings; they do not call external LLMs. What Sprint 7 delivered @meronq/agents — types, registry, context gathering, runner Five built-in agents — architecture , code_review , documentation , debugging , onboarding MCP + CLI — agent_l...

At Codens, we run our development on AI agents around the clock: a PRD becomes tasks, agents implement them and open PRs, an AI reviewer approves, and approved PRs merge automatically. Humans mostly read the reviewed output and the notifications. That was the idea — until one morning the dashboard showed zero completed tasks for three days straight . "Autopilot is down." Except it wasn't. Every component checked out healthy. Plans were being generated. Tasks were being submitted. Agents w...

An Anthropic model built a bootable operating-system kernel from an empty folder in roughly thirty-eight minutes of compute time, across about two hundred unassisted back-and-forth turns. The kernel boots inside an emulator and passes its own built-in tests — a task normally requiring months of specialist work. Key facts What: A blow-by-blow log shows one of the now-suspended models building bootable low-level systems code from an empty folder -- the kind of feat that made r...

We spend a lot of time arguing about code quality. Is it clean? Readable? Tested? Too clever? AI-generated? All fair questions, but I think we're missing a more important one: Can the repository actually prove what this behavior is supposed to do? Not the developer. Not the product manager. Not the person who has been on the team for four years and somehow knows that this weird edge case is intentional. The repository itself. Because when a system gets old enough, "how it works" and "...

Mistral introduced a new version of its document-reading model as a hosted OCR service, and the open-source project MinerU has been climbing fast on GitHub doing a similar job you run yourself. Both aim to convert messy PDFs into clean, structured text that AI systems can actually use, and that progress matters because bad document reading silently caps the quality of everything built on top of it. Key facts What: Mistral released a new document-reading model the same week a...

If you've ever had to merge a few PDFs, stamp a "CONFIDENTIAL" watermark, or turn a stack of images into a single PDF on the server , you know the pain: pdf-lib , pdftk , ghostscript , native binaries that won't install on your host, and an afternoon gone. Here's a lighter option: a small HTTP API that does the common PDF jobs for you. You POST a file, you get a PDF back. No dependencies, no native build steps, works from any language. I'll show merge, watermark, and images-to-PDF w...

A subtle trap of taking a SaaS international: the system emails sent from your Stripe webhook . Purchase confirmation, renewal success, payment failure, plan change — four kinds of emails triggered by Stripe events. We recently discovered all four had been hardcoded to Japanese for months, sending Japanese receipts and failure notices to English-paying users overseas. The kind of bug that quietly persists forever unless you go looking. This post walks through the currency-based language i...

Your AI agent doesn't have a reasoning problem: it has a vision problem. Without access to live web data, even the smartest model is a well-dressed historian. But the fix isn't a better model: it's a data layer based on the MCP protocol. In this article, you'll learn why web search tools fall short, why MCP is the right managed data layer, and how to wire it all up with Claude Desktop in practice.
