    Reliable AI Agents with Frameworks and Composable Skills

    People are getting into multi-agent setups, and I had a ton of questions. In this episode, I’ll walk you through them and share what I learned. We’ll start with the basics. Why did we move from simply calling LLMs to building agents? And why did multi-agent systems show up so fast? Then we’ll get practical. What breaks first as agents grow? When should you split agents into multiple roles? I’ll also touch on agent frameworks, and I’ll end with Anthropic’s Agent Skills.

    OSS Spotlight: Cagent - AI Team on Your Machine

    cagent, from Docker, runs multiple AI agents on your machine and even creates new agents for you. It operates outside the sandbox, with real access to network socket and things other AI coding tools can't access, so it can automate things in a way cloud-based assistants can’t. Think of it as an AI team living on your laptop, doing work on your behalf. So in this episode, I’ll tell you what I discovered, and how I felt while playing around with it.
