Agent Client Protocol: The LSP for AI Coding Agents

What if switching between AI coding assistants was as easy as changing text editors? That's the promise of the Agent Client Protocol (ACP)—a new open standard that aims to do for AI agents what the Language Server Protocol did for programming languages. Just as LSP decoupled language

LLM Idioms

An LLM idiom is a pattern or format that models understand implicitly - things their neural nets have built logic and world models around, without needing explanation. These are the native languages of AI systems. To me, this is one of the most important concepts in prompt engineering. I don&

What is Context Engineering?

The term "prompt engineering" really exploded when ChatGPT launched in late 2022. It started as simple tricks to get better responses from AI. Add "please" and "thank you." Create elaborate role-playing scenarios. The typical optimization patterns we all tried. As I've written

Best Practices for Evaluating Back-and-Forth Conversational AI

Building conversational AI agents is hard. Ensuring they perform reliably across diverse scenarios is even harder. When your agent needs to handle multi-turn conversations, maintain context, and achieve specific goals, traditional single-prompt evaluation methods fall short. In this guide, I'll walk you through best practices for evaluating conversational
