PStack Deep Dive (Part 2): Two Agents, Five Special Designs, and How It Actually Lands
The executors of pstack: poteto-agent, comment-sicko, the benny automation, five special designs, and notes on landing it in OpenClaw and DeepSeek Harness.
Multi-Agent Coordination: How Planners and Workers Avoid Fighting Each Other
Hand a task to several AI agents in parallel and three problems appear fast: duplicated work, information silos, and dependency mis-ordering. This article unpacks four design techniques from a public agentic system — role red lines, process-level information exchange, a shared todo list, and a single intent generator — and how they map onto any multi-agent workflow.
The Evolution of the Harness: Six Eras, Each With Its New Capabilities and New Ways to Crash
From pure-prompt chatbots, CoT and ReAct reasoning prompts, and function calling — the real turning point — to MCP standardization, long-running CLI Agents, and always-on multi-Agent orchestration: era by era, what new capability the harness gained each time, and what new failure mode that capability incidentally introduced.
What OpenClaw Is: An Open-Source Assistant That Runs on Your Own Machine and Lives in Your Chat Apps
OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant framework: the body runs on your own machine and appears through one Gateway in twenty-odd chat channels at once — WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord and more. One article covering its three-part architecture, the Skills ecosystem, its "models are swappable" philosophy, and the safety responsibilities you must read before using it.
A Multi-Agent Investment-Research Pipeline: Collect, Analyze, Report in Three Stages
A single Agent cannot finish an investment-research task: the context blows up, attention scatters, and errors cross-contaminate. This article gives the complete design for a three-stage collect / analyze / report division of labor — each stage's responsibilities and negative list, the structured JSON contract between stages, the write-scope partition, failure isolation and contamination detection, where to place the verification gates, and the cost-and-latency trade-off framework, with an architecture diagram and a failure-mode list.
YC Open-Sources QM: Source-Level Teardown of the 'Whole-Company Agent Operating System' That Hit 12K Stars in 7 Days, with More Security Code Than Model Loops
On July 31, 2026, Y Combinator open-sourced its internal Agent system QM (Quartermaster). Clone test: 241K lines of TypeScript, 379 test files, 4 interchangeable harnesses (Pi/OpenCode/Codex/Claude Code), egress proxy re-resolves DNS for each request, three-person gate 'a wall, not a hole', npm supply chain 7-day cooldown period: complete source-level dissection

The Ultimate Comparison of 7 AI Agent Loop Engineering Architectures: From while(true) to Multi-Agent Orchestration
A comparison of seven agent loop architectures: Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Cline, SWE-agent, OpenHands, and our in-house Loop Engineering. Covers five dimensions: loop shape, tool execution, context management, error recovery, and verification mechanisms.
Three Departments and Six Ministries vs Loop Engineering: A Technical Dissection of Institutional Process Enforcement
A comparison of how the two GitHub 'Three Departments and Six Ministries' systems achieve process enforcement using a State Machine, Permission Matrix, Review Gate, and 4-layer Gateway, plus the implications for refactoring our Loop Engineering system.
200+ Skills, One Router: Engineering Practice of Agent Skill Routing
After installing 200+ skills, does the AI Agent actually get dumber? How category-by-stage matrix routing raises skill discovery from 35% to 90%, reduces incorrect tool usage by 80%, and lets any task automatically match the right skill combination.
