🔬 New AI Craft
1. Anthropic publishes new rules of context engineering for Claude 5
Claude's official blog details a fundamental shift in context engineering for next-gen models: "less is more" replaces "more is better." Unlike the Agent Plan prompting you use daily, Claude 5 is far more sensitive to context — redundant information doesn't just waste tokens but actively dilutes attention. The article proposes structured context partitioning: keeping system instructions separate from conversation turns, attaching clear intent markers to each tool call, and trimming historical context to only what's relevant. Directly applicable to prompt design in Cursor, Codex, and other agentic coding workflows.

2. Open-weight AI is having its Kubernetes moment
A deep analysis argues that as open-weight models (Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek) proliferate in both number and versions, enterprises face the same transition that DevOps went through a decade ago — from manageable scripts to unmanageable chaos. Model selection, deployment configs, version management, and security auditing are becoming overwhelming. The author draws a direct parallel to Docker Swarm → Kubernetes evolution, arguing open-weight AI needs a similar orchestration layer. Highly relevant to anyone managing multiple models and agents in production.

3. T3MP3ST: Multi-agent autonomous red teaming platform
An open-source autonomous red-teaming platform that uses multiple agents to probe AI systems for vulnerabilities. Unlike functional validation in Agent Plan mode, T3MP3ST specializes in adversarial testing — coordinating agents to launch attacks, discover weaknesses, and generate security reports. Security automation is an often-overlooked but increasingly critical part of putting AI into production.

🛠️ Tools & Tips
1. Yorishiro: macOS terminal built for AI agents
A native macOS terminal where AI agents live, interact, and manage tasks directly in the execution environment — smoother than toggling between terminal and agent manually.

2. no-ai-slop / kill-ai-slop: Strip AI writing patterns from text
Two independent open-source projects (2587⭐ and 780⭐) that scan text for 20+ AI-isms ("delve into", "it's important to note", etc.) and remove them in one click. Great for polishing technical docs or blog posts.
