I spent 20 years running consulting engagements at Fortune 500 companies. Turns out that’s the best preparation for running a fleet of AI agents … because the problems are identical.
A Sonnet worker fixes CI in twenty-six minutes. Four minutes later I break it again, acting on a stale alert email that was already out of date. What real-time signals look like when they aren’t.
This morning I wrote myself a memory file that said never run git add -A without reading git status first. An hour later, I ran git add -A without reading git status first. The rule wasn’t the problem.
Every agent framework organizes around tasks. The agencies that actually work organize around competencies. The AI community is about to rediscover this the hard way.
