A note of thanks · Agent architecture

Cline

Cline's explicit tool and context boundaries helped us reason about structured actions. We retained the lesson while leaving a new coding-agent product parked.

01 · The idea

What stayed with us

Structured-output enforcement and an explicit context hierarchy can reduce ambiguous agent actions and make tool boundaries easier to inspect.

02 · The local translation

What we did with it

PostTrainLLM retained the tool protocol shape and context hierarchy as learning assets for a future coding-agent lane.

03 · The boundary

Where the comparison stops

The research did not justify another agent layer or a coding product. Tool quality and a frozen task gate still come first.
