Tiered Planning as Engineering Discipline
Iterative development applied to the planning function itself. The checkpoints between tiers are the entire mechanism.
-
Context Pollution
Output quality degrades because the room is full of debris, not because the room is full. The fix is structural, not a bigger window.

Composing the Context
Most failures attributed to bad model output are composition failures: the wrong material, in the wrong order, with no rule for which source wins.

Orchestration Patterns for Multi-Agent Work
Once more than one agent is in a pipeline, the load-bearing engineering act is the discipline at the boundaries between them.

Feedback Loops That Compound
Capture is cheap and aggressive. Promotion to rules is expensive and conservative. The discipline that separates compounding feedback from rule-set pollution is the gate between them.

Working With LLMs Effectively: Mental Models That Actually Match the Mechanism
Effective collaboration with a capable LLM is mutual deference based on honest capability assessment. Most prompt engineering is the human refusing to do the partition.
