Editorial Perspective

The day's activity points unmistakably toward agent infrastructure: skill libraries, governance toolkits, MCP servers, and books on agent engineering all surged together. Builders are no longer just experimenting with LLMs; they are actively constructing the plumbing required to run, control, and extend autonomous agents in production.
