Context first

Notes from the Atris team on agent design, workflow orchestration, and everything we are shipping.

Most agent failures aren't about the model or the prompt. They're about context.

An agent trying to write code without seeing the codebase is guessing. An agent trying to plan without understanding the goals is wandering.

We've seen agents go from useless to essential just by giving them better context.

The tricky part is building context without overwhelming the agent. Too little, they're lost. Too much, they're confused.

The sweet spot is just enough context to make the right decision. We're getting better at finding it.
