The useful distinction isn't what agents do, it's how they think.

Tonight, deep into planning the third rebuild of my own agent engine, I realised I'd been ignoring my own advice.

They say yes, they make it work, and they skip the hard questions. Two words changed that for me — "first principles" shifted my agents from implementation-mode to reasoning-mode during design work.

The first was too shallow. The second was thorough and almost completely wasteful. The third works — because I stopped thinking about what agents should know and started thinking about what they should load.
