Issue #15: The Plugin Wars Begin — Anthropic Cowork Plugins, OpenSearch Next-Gen, Human-in-the-Loop

Issue #15 of The Agentic Engineer Podcast. Anthropic open-sources 11 knowledge-work plugins for Claude Cowork in the simplest format possible: markdown and JSON. OpenSearch Serverless Next-Gen kills the $300/mo minimum with true scale-to-zero vector search. Self-improving agents go from 25% to 86% accuracy in production. And the hot take: human-in-the-loop is a liability when users approve 93% of prompts without reading them.

Issue #14: Mythos 10K Vulns, CodeGraph, Constraint Decay, AI Slop Issues

Issue #14 of The Agentic Engineer Podcast. Anthropic's Mythos Preview found 10,000+ critical vulnerabilities in 30 days across 50 Glasswing partners. A new paper proves coding agents collapse in convention-heavy frameworks like Django. CodeGraph cuts agent costs 35% with pre-indexed knowledge graphs. And AI-generated slop issues are poisoning open source repos.

Issue #13: TanStack Attack, AWS Agent Orchestrator, FORGE Memory

Issue #13 of The Agentic Engineer Podcast. TanStack npm supply chain attack compromises OpenAI code-signing certs, AWS CLI Agent Orchestrator runs multiple coding agents in parallel via MCP, and FORGE evolves agent memory through population broadcast.

Issue #12: Agents That Spend Money

Issue #12: Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Payments launches with Coinbase and Stripe, giving agents wallets and spending authority. The AWS MCP Server goes GA with 15,000 API operations in 3 tools. TraceFix formally verifies multi-agent coordination via TLA+, cutting deadlock from 31% to 14%. OpenAI Symphony open-sources work management for coding agents. Mythos finds a real curl CVE. Claude Platform on AWS goes GA. DeepSeek-TUI explodes to 24K stars. Anthropic ships vertical financial agents. And James Shore proves AI doubles your maintenance debt too.

Issue #11: AWS + OpenAI: Model Exclusivity Is Dead

Issue #11: OpenAI models, Codex, and Managed Agents land on Amazon Bedrock. Model exclusivity is officially dead. T-MAP red-teams frontier agents at 57.8% attack success rate using multi-step tool-use manipulation. AgentCore Optimization ships the continuous agent quality loop. DeepClaude runs Claude Code's agent loop at 17x less cost. Cloudflare + Stripe lets agents buy infrastructure autonomously. Matt Pocock's skills repo hits 57K stars. Google renames Vertex AI to Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. And shadow agents outnumber humans 45:1 in enterprise.
