- A Short History of LLM Agentic Research (2022–2026)
How LLMs went from single-turn Q&A to agentic coding harnesses: chain-of-thought, tool use, context windows, reasoning models, and Claude Code. Part 5 of a series on working with Claude Code in a large brownfield enterprise codebase.
- Claude Code's Agentic Harness: Tools, Context, and Permissions
Mechanics underneath Claude Code: MCP vs CLI tools, context window budgeting, project/settings scoping, and the permission system. Part 1 of a series on working with Claude Code in a large brownfield enterprise codebase.
- Teaching Claude Code Your Standards: Memory, Skills, and Subagents
How memory, skills, and subagents manage knowledge in Claude Code — with the actual file structure and rule examples. Part 2 of a series on working with Claude Code in a large brownfield enterprise codebase.
- Opinions on Agentic Coding
Opinions on trust, verification, and time cost formed from real-world experience. Part 3 of a series on working with Claude Code in a large brownfield enterprise codebase.
- Setting Up Claude Code Across the Whole SDLC
How a Claude Code skill map to SDLC phases in an enterprise codebase: config, spec writing, Go implementation, testing, review, .NET, SQL, and deterministic tooling. Part 4 of a series on working with Claude Code in a large brownfield enterprise codebase.
