XCAFFOLD CORE
Thoughts, tutorials, and deep dives into managing AI development environments deterministically.
We ran 16 experiments across three investigation threads to find out how Claude Code handles agent context at runtime. The first results were wrong. Here is what we actually discovered.
Stop managing invisible YAML files. See your agent harness with IntelliSense, a live dependency graph, and real-time status dashboards directly in VS Code.
Multi-step procedures are powerful, but not all AI tools natively support them. Here is how xcaffold uses compiler lowering strategies to bridge the gap between high-level workflows and provider-specific rules and skills.
Config rot isn't just a server problem anymore. When your AI agent configurations drift silently over weeks, the symptoms look like model hallucination — but the root cause is pure infrastructure neglect.
You already have a .claude/ directory with agents, skills, and rules you spent hours crafting. xcaffold import turns your existing configuration into typed .xcaf manifests without overwriting a single file.
Every developer using AI coding tools is unknowingly accumulating technical debt in their provider directories. Here's why handwriting agent configurations is a ticking time bomb — and what to do about it.
A blueprint selects exactly the agents, skills, and rules needed for a specific workflow — compiled and validated in seconds.
