Zombie Loops: The Long-Horizon Bug Nobody Codes For
Autonomous agents do not crash when they fail at long-horizon work. They keep running. The fix is a termination contract written before the loop starts: dual success conditions, pre-compaction checkpoints, and a verifier subagent that grades in a fresh context the loop cannot influence.
The /loop Pattern: When Self-Pacing Helps vs Burns Tokens
A practitioner's recipe for cache-aware long-running agents. When self-pacing wins, when it loses, and why the 270-second prompt cache window is the only number that matters for an idle loop.
Cheap Models, Honest Reports: Getting Haiku to Behave Like Sonnet
Haiku ran my fixture suite at parity with Sonnet once the doctrine forced verification and status tokens. The trick is not a better model. It is a tighter contract about what done means. This holds across both Anthropic and OpenAI's durable tier system.
Done Means Done: Why Status Tokens Beat Status Updates
Agents reporting completion in prose is the leading source of false-green builds. A four-token discipline (VERIFIED, UNVERIFIED, PENDING_REVIEW, FAIL) is what makes long-horizon agent work actually verifiable.
Frontier AI Performance at Home, Without the API Bill
Maestro fuses the model CLIs already on your machine into one answer that beats any of them alone. It is the same mixture-of-agents method OpenRouter's Fusion API benchmarked at frontier level for about half the cost, except it runs on the flat-rate subscriptions you already pay for instead of a metered API bill.
