Its Resource Substrate Protocol Layer (RSPL) models prompts, agents, tools, environments, and memory as protocol registered resources with explicit state, lifecycle, and versioned interfaces.
大多数人可能认为提示词(prompt)只是简单的文本输入，不需要像系统资源那样进行严格的状态和生命周期管理。但作者将提示词与智能体、工具、环境和内存一起视为需要明确状态、生命周期和版本化接口的协议注册资源，这挑战了当前对提示词的普遍认知，提升了其在系统架构中的重要性。
Contextual Drag: How Errors in the Context Affect LLM Reasoning
相关工作「上下文拖拽」（Contextual Drag）的存在，说明这个研究方向正在快速形成：不只是「无关上下文缩短推理」，还有「错误上下文拖拽推理方向」。两篇论文合在一起暗示了一个新的研究领域：「上下文污染对推理模型的系统性影响」。对 AI Agent 的工程实践者而言，这意味着上下文管理策略（截断、摘要、过滤）将成为保障推理质量的核心工程能力，而非仅仅是 token 节省手段。
This is not a discrete project but an ongoing process and should always be competing for focus in strategic decision making.
Absolutely agreed. One limitation of the Iron Triangle concept is that it often seems to be used to make decisions based on a snapshot in time (i.e. which two are we choosing now), when some choices have longer half-lives than others.
When a product manager trusts that the engineers on the team have the interest of the product at heart, they also trust the engineer’s judgment when adding technical tasks to the backlog and prioritizing them. This enables the balanced mix of feature and technical work that we’re aiming for.
Why is it so common for engineering teams to be mistrusted by other parts of the business?
Part of that is definitely on engineers: chasing the new shiny, over-engineering, etc.
That seems unlikely to account for all of it, though.
I didn't have to think too much of what’s good for the company - I usually assumed that whatever I’m doing is what the business needs.
It may even be a sign that management is doing well.
