      <description>An AI agent's world is text — it can't see what its code renders unless a tool hands it an image, and even then it needs to know what to look for.</description>

      <description>Claude usage limits are token-based, not message-based — long visual sessions compound fast, and the fixes cost nothing.</description>

      <description>MCP is Anthropic's open standard letting an AI agent call real tools and data instead of only generating text, one server per connected system.</description>

      <title>What Is a Context Window? (And Why Filling It Hurts)</title>
      <link>https://usewalkie.com/blog/what-is-a-context-window/</link>
      <guid>https://usewalkie.com/blog/what-is-a-context-window/</guid>
      <description>A context window is the total text a model holds per turn; filling a 200,000-token window can cost 40% of it before a fix even starts.</description>

      <description>The order that works: data shape, then boundaries, then logic. Top-to-bottom reading misses what AI-generated code gets wrong — and what to grep for.</description>

      <description>Plan and execute are easy to automate. Verification is where the quality is — and it's the one step an AI agent can't fully do by itself.</description>

      <title>Can you feed a Loom video to an AI coding agent?</title>

      <guid>https://usewalkie.com/blog/loom-video-to-ai-coding-agent/</guid>
      <description>Loom's AI reads the transcript, not the pixels — so a Loom link never gets your coding agent the screen you pointed at.</description>

      <description>Good feedback to Claude Code names the location, the expectation, and the gap between them — most reports name only the gap, and the fix misses.</description>
