What We Might Write Next
Updated October 22, 2026. These are editorial intentions, not new publications or claims of completed product capabilities.
We will improve existing essays before adding new slugs. The eight core principles and six on-demand engineering methods are a reading map, not fourteen article commitments.
Existing articles to deepen
The weekly-review staged-delivery retrospective explains why comprehensive design must not delay the first usable result, and how we changed the Spec workflow.
The engineering context, memory and knowledge retirement article now incorporates the cases about obsolete instructions and tests reviving old mechanisms. Both reading paths have complete bilingual articles in the engineering collection; knowledge retirement is no longer a separate essay.
First: Deepen existing articles
| Priority | Existing essay | Further question |
|---|---|---|
| P0 | From bug-fixing to full task convergence | Staged delivery now has its own case study; add only distinct new observations about full research-task convergence. |
| P0 | Specs, Evidence, and reliable closeout | How can facts, authority, failure, value and verification choices improve design decisions without another mandatory checklist? |
| P1 | Sustainable architectural evolution, Chinese original | Add grounded examples of normal-path tax and genuinely retired mechanisms, without re-publishing the same argument. |
Only if an independent, evidence-backed question emerges
- Reasoning versus experiments in agent engineering. Differentiate deterministic architectural reasoning from real-model performance comparisons. Existing baselines: Specs, green tests.
- Conservative lineage versus exact output attribution. First strengthen the evidence chain, Chinese original; create a new essay only if it answers a distinct reader question.
- Untrusted content and instruction authority across tools, child agents and summaries. This remains a design and verification topic; do not present it as an already qualified prompt-injection defense.
Module candidates still awaiting distinct material
Durable control events; private artifact access and sharing; provider routing and capacity; and long-term personalized research outcomes. Each needs a scoped original case. See the detailed Chinese writing roadmap for the existing candidate list.
Written articles remain in the canonical catalog, not in the preview count. Translations are available only when fully authored and checked; links marked Chinese original intentionally open the original version.
