In my last post I argued you should give agents jobs, not processes: tell an agent what it’s responsible for, and split the work so tools enforce the rules while the skill’s instructions carry the goals and the judgment.

Every experienced software builder carries the same instinct: start small.

In my last post, Your AI Agent Is Building Shadow IT, I argued that agents are starting to create a new layer of software inside companies.

Every enterprise has a version of the same problem: the tools people are given don’t quite match the work they actually do.
