Charlie Guo maps the core primitives that make AI agents work over time
Overview
The author argues that agent systems are converging on shared primitives grouped into doing the work, continuing the work, and delegating the work.
These include instructions and skills, tools and connectors, sandboxes, sessions, compaction, schedules, and subagents. He also flags memory, proactivity, and agent identity as emerging areas still lacking settled standards.
