Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Code agents have their own failure modes, appetite for context, and demands on what counts as a well-organized repository. Companies need to take this seriously as the work to make a repository ergonomic for agents is bigger than expected, and the principles are non-obvious. However, the payoff is substantial. This article looks at how Basis made its codebase ergonomic for agents in three months using principles rooted in verifiability, interoperability, and canonical context.
