Long context windows do not solve long-running agent state. This article explains why summarization is really state compression, how to design structured summaries, when to trigger compaction, and how to detect behavioral drift before bad memory causes wrong tool calls or broken constraint handling.
Every file you touch gives you a chance to make the next change easier.
Most xAPI failures begin before the first statement reaches the LRS. This article shows how to start with KPIs, define report grain, choose decision-grade events, and lock an event contract that still supports trustworthy analytics months later.
Retrieval is not memory. In production AI agents for developers, retrieval should stay a read path to external systems, while memory remains a write path for learned continuity like preferences, instructions, and successful procedures.
The fastest code is rarely the most optimized. It is usually built on the right algorithm.
xAPI Launch is not SCORM with a new name. It is a secure startup pattern for getting runtime xAPI configuration into launched content without exposing credentials or learner identity. This article explains the flow, the architectural boundary, and why cmi5 exists.
Short-term state is not a transcript. It is the working memory of the current task. This article explains how clean, structured thread state improves agent focus, reduces context pollution, and makes tool-using systems easier to debug and scale.
Software that works without being understood is one refactor away from becoming tomorrow’s production bug.
Valid xAPI is not the same as interoperable xAPI. This article explains how Profiles and Statement Templates constrain event data, enable validation, and keep reporting from drifting across systems.
