JULY 2026   /   THE AGENT TAX

Pingory Agent Weekly #17

I think of every rebrief, pasted thread, and “did it do that?” check-in as the agent tax: the context and time you spend just keeping an agent useful. Agents that live inside the workspace can use the conversations, shared context, and rules already there instead of asking you to rebuild the room around them. This week’s picks are all about agents that already know the room they work in.
