• How we distill decisions from Slack noise

  Inside Lockstep's distillation funnel: a four-test rubric, tiered models, prompt-cached extraction, and a human gate that nothing skips.

• How cross-vendor agent capture works: hooks, MCP, and instruction files

  Every major coding agent exposes the same three surfaces. How Lockstep uses lifecycle hooks, an MCP server, and instruction files to capture agent work.

• 8 Ways to Give AI Coding Agents Your Team's Context (2026)

  AGENTS.md vs CLAUDE.md vs Cursor rules vs MCP vs RAG vs decision memory: what each carries into Claude Code or Cursor, where it breaks, what to pick.

• 9 Best MCP Servers for Engineering Teams, Ranked (2026)

  GitHub, Playwright, Sentry, Context7, Linear, Slack and 3 more MCP servers ranked for dev teams: what each exposes, auth model, and which to install first.

• The load-bearing hallway: what AI coding agents break first

  Git, Jira, and PRDs were never the coordination layer — the human hallway was. AI coding agents delete it. What hospitals and remote teams teach us.

• Architecture Decision Records (ADRs): a practical guide

  What an ADR is, the minimal template, and when to write one. Then why ADRs fail on the read side, and what changes when AI coding agents are the reader.

• AGENTS.md: What It Is, Example File, and What to Leave Out

  AGENTS.md is a markdown file of instructions for AI coding agents. What it is, which tools read it, a complete example file, and what to leave out.

• MCP vs RAG: When to Use Each

  MCP and RAG both get outside information to a model, but they solve different problems. A plain comparison, a decision table, and when to use each.

• The Feed Is Coming for GitHub

  The friend graph, then the CRM, now GitHub: value keeps moving from the database up to the layer that reads across everything and decides what happens next.

• Introducing Lockstep: A System of Record for AI Coding Agents

  The tools that coordinate engineering work assume humans writing code. AI coding agents have no hallway conversations. Lockstep is the layer they're missing.
