Comparative stack
- Monolith: high setup, wide blast radius, slow iteration.
- Agentic: zero setup, thin interfaces, composable changes.
Design rules
- One action per extension (book/quote/publish)
- Decouple state from interface
- Prefer static assets; earn your runtime
Operational impact
Shorter onboarding, fewer failure modes, measurable ROI per action.
