The second part of the context engineering series. Part 1 covered the foundations: what an LLM is, how it becomes an agent, and the seven layers of configuration (CLAUDE.md, hooks, MCP, skills, plugins) that make it production-ready. This part picks up where we left off — with subagents, agent teams, worktree isolation, and the context management machinery that keeps it all running as sessions scale. We close with a look at how the broader open-source ecosystem is converging on the same orchestration patterns from different directions.

A practical, end-to-end guide to building a custom MCP server that turns your documentation site into structured tools for LLM agents. Covers the llms.txt standard, FastMCP, caching, search, packaging, and LLM agents integration. Written for teams that have internal docs (Confluence pages, Markdown files) and want their agents to read them instead of hallucinating.

A practical guide to LLM agents, from foundational concepts to building a production-ready agent configuration. Part 1 of a two-part series: what an LLM actually is, how it becomes an agent, and the layered system (CLAUDE.md, hooks, MCP, skills, plugins) that makes it useful in practice. Part 2 covers subagents, agent teams, and more advanced topics. Written for everyone, regardless of technical background.
