Agentic Readiness Analysis (ARA): The Step Most Teams Skip Before Building AI Agents

The Problem No One Talks About Everyone is building AI agents. Few are asking the right question first: Are my systems actually ready to be called by one? Many organizations build agents on top of systems that fundamentally don’t support them. The vulnerabilities were always there. Agents just amplify them at machine speed, and what was […]

Strands Multi-Agent Patterns: Which One Should You Use?

When I started building multi-agent systems with Strands Agents, the first decision I faced was architectural: which pattern fits my use case?

History-Aware Steering Files for Kiro-Enabled Repos

How to guide large-scale refactors and reorganizations using explicit, versioned rules instead of tribal memory Every repository tells a story. The problem is, most of that story is buried in commit logs, scattered Jira tickets, and the heads of two engineers who happen to remember why utils_v2_FINAL.py exists alongside utils_v3_backup.py. Over time, repos accumulate entropy. Modules overlap. Naming […]

AI-DLC: The Next Evolution of Software Delivery (A Hands-On Guide)
