3 additional articlesWhat the Agent Inherits: Sessions You Are Already Logged Into
Credential discussions focus on secrets in files. On a developer machine most access is an authenticated session an agent can simply use: cloud CLIs, the current kubectl context, a forwarded SSH agent. An inventory script and what to make absent by default.
Host Administration by Agent: Sorting Changes by How Badly They Undo
An agent is genuinely good at diagnosis and command composition, and a host has no git. Reversible versus restorable versus unrecoverable, the docker prune that eats your local database, and scheduling the revert before you touch the firewall.
Agents in the Code Host: Triggering on Text Anyone Can Write
Wiring an agent into issues and pull requests puts its work where the team already looks. It also turns issue text into an instruction executed with repository credentials. Trigger design, token scoping, fork hazards, and what to allow without a human.
