Eval on Shadow Traffic
A golden set is necessary. Shadow traffic shows what the golden set missed.
As a dev, I now run candidates against a shadow copy of live requests.
Shadow Eval Cheatsheet:
1. Copy a sample of live requests
2. Run the candidate in parallel
3. Score both answers
4. Never show the candidate to the user
5. Promote only after the shadow scores hold
6. Drop the shadow on any write tool
Core principle: Shadow tells you how the change behaves on traffic you did not anticipate.
Pro tip: Shadow writes are dangerous. Shadow reads only unless you have a full sandbox.
Do you ever see how a new prompt would have answered yesterday’s real questions?

Eval Budget per Release
An eval suite that takes six hours will be skipped when the release is urgent.
As a dev, I now set an eval budget per release.
Eval Budget Cheatsheet:
1. Cap tokens and wall time
2. Run the fast suite on every commit
3. Run the full suite on promote
4. Fail if the suite exceeds the budget
5. Require justification to grow the set
6. Chart suite cost over time
Core principle: A suite people skip is not a suite.
Pro tip: Delete cases that have never failed. They cost money and teach nothing.

The next step after Karpathy's Agentic Engineering:
(built by Google)
Agent tasks can often outlive the process running them.
For instance, an agent may gather the right evidence and prepare the final answer, then stop because a person must approve the next action.
If that approval arrives a few hours later, the original process may no longer exist.
Replaying the prompt is the wrong recovery mechanism here since it runs retrieval again, may produce a different answer, and can repeat the external action.
Ideally, the system has to reopen the exact run with the same evidence and draft. It must also remember whether the final action already happened.
Google's Agents CLI lets a coding agent build this directly. It installs seven focused skills that cover ADK development, testing, and deployment to Agent Runtime.
Agents CLI Repo → https://t.co/MrlFU86tZs
(don't forget to star it ⭐ )
I tested the exact setup with a RAG agent in Claude Code.
The agent retrieves four policy passages, writes a cited customer reply, asks for approval, and exits. No worker keeps running while it waits.
A new process later opens the saved session and continues from the approval step. The retrieval count remains one, and the answer is published once.
Submitting the approval again returns `already_published` instead of calling the publication tool twice.
ADK preserves the paused run. Agent Runtime stores the session after deployment, and Agent Identity gives the deployed agent its own cloud identity.
The recording shows the whole process in action, and I worked with Google to put this together.
The app retrieves the evidence, drafts the reply, and exits with a pending approval and saved session ID. Later, the same sessions are picked up again without reinvoking the tools.
If you want to dive deeper, I've covered the complete implementation in a hands-on article, including the Claude Code prompts, duplicate-approval protection, and Agent Runtime deployment.

REA + Claude Opus 5.5 is seriously dangerous
you keep paying every month for app features your own laptop could run
REA (Reverse Engineer Anything, MIT) plugs into Opus 5.5 over MCP, runs locally and works clean-room:
> it learns what a feature does by watching it run
> nothing from the target's code lands in yours
> it writes a SPEC file from observed behaviour alone
> Opus 5.5 builds your version from that spec
> every claim comes back labelled proven, inferred or unknown
Electron, native, APK, web and .NET apps all count, as long as you own them or are allowed to examine them
one $500-a-seat tool your team lives in
one evening, and a working internal version built from a clean spec
the engineer who demos that at Monday standup ends the quarter with a new title
the full course on turning Opus 5.5 into a reverse engineering machine is below 👇
Claude Code is the most unfair video editor on the internet right now: one free repo turns a 10-minute script into a finished Instagram Reel, no camera, no second app
How it works, how to set it up, and where it actually saves you the evening in my 10-page research (prompts included):
step 1 → skip the paid course: a viral video claimed Claude edited a Reel with 12 animations and 106 sound effects, then hid the guide behind a paywall. I rebuilt it from free, public parts
step 2 → meet the stack: claude-youtube-editor (free, open source) edits, Higgsfield generates, AssemblyAI transcribes, ElevenLabs voices. All of it runs in one terminal
step 3 → set up once: your script + your brand + 2 keys, and Claude Code has everything it needs
step 4 → generate the presenter: Higgsfield makes the image, the voice and a lip-synced 9:16 video at 1080x1920 through your normal account
step 5 → time every word: AssemblyAI writes a word-by-word transcript, so every cut, caption and sound cue lands on the right word
step 6 → let Claude edit: it cuts the dead air, types the captions, places the animations and drops in the sound effects, the work that used to eat your whole evening
step 7 → review the 3 checkpoints: cuts.json, the cue sheet and the preview. This is where a mistake costs credits or quietly ruins the reel
step 8 → spend zero on sound: the editor ships with 33 sound effects and 6 music beds, so most 30-second reels cost 0 ElevenLabs credits
step 9 → make reel two faster: after setup, a new reel is one /make-reel command plus a script
step 10 → know the limits: Claude edits, you approve. Something off? Fix the cut, render again, and ship an MP4 with no cut-off words and no drift
the result: writing a reel still takes 10 minutes, but editing it stops taking the whole evening, and you never have to stand in front of a camera

Canary Eval before Full Promote
A perfect offline suite can still fail on the first thousand real users.
As a dev, I now require a canary eval before full promote.
Canary Eval Cheatsheet:
1. Shift a small percent of traffic
2. Score the canary runs
3. Compare to the baseline
4. Auto roll back on a threshold breach
5. Require a minimum sample before promote
6. Keep the canary short
Core principle: The last gate should see real users, not only recorded cases.
Pro tip: Canary the skill that writes money last. Read only skills can go first.
How much traffic do you see before a new skill version reaches everyone?

the cleanest graph engineering setup I've seen
12,571 claims in, zero rows ever updated, and the whole index rebuilds from the log in 8 seconds
three Claude agents share one store:
one pulls claims out of raw sources, one proposes how they connect, one checks each claim against what's already there
every claim gets appended with a timestamp and a source, and nothing is ever overwritten
• the schema
> nodes.yml - entity, claim, source, artifact, run
> edges.yml - supersedes
> an ids file - one id per entity, aliases listed
• the store
> log/ - one jsonl per day, sealed when the day ends
> blobs/ - sha256 filenames, so duplicates cost nothing
> index.duckdb - derived, safe to delete any time
• the writers (.claude/agents/)
> extractor - a source in, claims out
> linker - proposes merges, never merges
> checker - supports or contradicts, always with a reason
> the write script - the only way in: validates, appends, exits
• the operations
> queries/ - every question saved as sql
> merges.pending.jsonl - a human approves each one
> make rebuild - the full index back from the log
when something's wrong, you append the correction and let the log outvote the mistake

Flaky Eval Detection
A case that fails every third run will eventually block a good release for no reason.
As a dev, I now detect and quarantine flaky eval cases.
Flaky Detection Cheatsheet:
1. Run the suite more than once on candidates
2. Flag cases that flip with no input change
3. Quarantine them from the gate
4. Require an owner to fix or delete
5. Track flake rate per skill
6. Alert when flake rate rises
Core principle: A flaky test is worse than no test. It trains people to ignore red.
Pro tip: Most flakes come from live tool calls or unpinned models. Mock and pin.
How many of your red builds last month were caused by a case that passed on retry?

REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) is the most powerful GitHub repo I've ever used.
It's basically a legal way to hack websites and apps and steal their features, and now it runs on a free local AI with one 12GB GPU.
If you inject this config into your local model, it will reverse-engineer anything without paying for a single API call.

- Every function and what it actually does
- The licence check, found and explained
- A clean-room spec you can rebuild from
Just send this to your Claude ↓

Claude is a studio, not a tool. here’s the full map on one page
most people still ask an AI for a video and hope for the best. with Claude no video model touches the frame. the animation is written as code you can read and change
> three rooms
data room: ask a question, get a chart with the query that made it
motion room: point it at a chart, get an MP4
edit room: you and Claude edit the same doc, deck or design
> the skills shelf
10 open-source repos. you need two or three, not ten
the honest pick: a taste skill (8) plus one pipeline skill
> the workflow
reference data story motion direct ship
every step leaves something you can check
> the mistakes
animating before the number is checked
describing a style instead of showing one
treating the first export as final
> your first week
one real video beats ten tutorials
you’re not generating video anymore. you’re compiling it

Model Upgrade Eval Gate
Swapping the model because the new one is cheaper is how quality silently drops.
As a dev, I now gate every model upgrade on the eval suite.
Model Upgrade Gate Cheatsheet:
1. Pin the current model in the skill
2. Run the full suite on the candidate
3. Compare accuracy, tool use, and cost
4. Require a pass or an explicit accept
5. Shift traffic only after the gate
6. Keep the old model warm for rollback
Core principle: A cheaper model is only cheaper if the answers stay good.
Pro tip: Run the gate on your hardest cases first. Easy cases hide the drop.
Can you change the model id in production without an eval result attached?

Opus 5.5 can reverse engineer anything.
REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) GitHub repo is insane...
You can steal custom websites, app features - you name it.
Inject this prompt into your Claude agents:
AI engineers learn how to build and run a model.
But production AI needs much more.
Think of MLOps as 4 levels:
1️⃣ Foundations → Models, artifacts, Docker
2️⃣ Serving → APIs, vLLM, Kubernetes, GPUs
3️⃣ Automation → MLflow, Kubeflow, Airflow, CI/CD
4️⃣ Observability → Monitoring, drift, tracing, scaling
The real jump happens when you stop asking:
“Can I run the model?”
…and start asking:
“Can I reliably operate AI at scale?”
That’s the difference between an ML experiment and a production AI system.

LangChain vs LangGraph
Building AI agents? Knowing the difference between these two can save you a lot of architectural headaches.
🔗 LangChain → High-level abstractions for LLM apps, agents, tools, RAG & integrations.
🕸️ LangGraph → Stateful, graph-based orchestration for complex, multi-step and long-running agent workflows.
Think of it simply:
LangChain = Build faster
LangGraph = Control complex workflows
And yes they can work together.
If you're serious about AI Engineering & Agentic AI, these are worth learning.
