# Run Log — 2026-07-12
Week: 14 (advanced from Week 13 — see note below)
Topic: Week 14 · Agent-Computer Interface + sub-agents (tool naming grammar, decomposition over consolidation, progressive disclosure at the API layer)
Sources checked: YouTube (13 attempted, all 403), Blogs/RSS (Tier 1 attempted, all 403; Anthropic mirror stale Nov 2025), Web (17 searches), X (skipped)
Items collected: ~22 candidates surfaced via web search
Items after hard filters: ~16 (excluded prior-recommended, checklist, and all 4 Week 13 briefings' URLs)
Items after topic gate: ~12
Must Read: 2 (score range: 88–93)
Recommended: 3 (score range: 78–84) + 1 Discovered (68)
Wild Card: yes (trigger: contrarian — sub-agent model choice, Simon Willison "Fable's judgement")
Discovered: 1 (Netra Chandramohan, PM building agent skills)
Dropped: several low-trust SEO agent-UX listicles that failed the quality bar
Errors/Notes:
- WEEK DETERMINATION OVERRIDE: The current-week algorithm resolves to Week 13 (first week with zero [x] items) ONLY because Katherine has not ticked any Week 13 boxes. Week 13 has already been briefed FOUR times (2026-06-14, 06-21, 06-28, 07-05) with ~24 distinct picks spanning the full multi-agent-orchestration space. Every prior briefing, with escalating urgency, recommended advancing to Week 14. A fifth Week 13 pass would violate the prompt's core "quality over quantity / content she hasn't read yet" principle. Idempotency guard (STEP 1d) did NOT trigger a stop — most recent Week 13 page was 2026-07-05 (7 days ago, outside the 3-day window). Decision: advanced focus to Week 14 with a transparent explanation at the top of the Notion page and a nudge to Katherine to tick Week 13 boxes so the checklist tracks reality.
- Prompt file (prompts/weekly-briefing.md) and config files (sources.md, previously-recommended.md) contain unresolved git merge-conflict markers (Updated upstream / Stashed changes). Treated both sides as complementary/valid. These markers are committed content, not an active merge — worth resolving in a future cleanup.
- Dedup log (previously-recommended.md) had not been updated since Week 7; the four Week 13 briefings' URLs were never logged. Dedup for this run was performed against the checklist + dedup log + all 4 Week 13 Notion pages directly. Appended Week 14 URLs to the dedup log this run.
- Diversity rule satisfied: Product Lane ≥2 (Mollick, Chandramohan), Design Lane ≥2 (Smashing Part 2, Wroblewski), pure-engineer-audience ≤2 (Anthropic advanced tool use, Willison). Anthropic tool-design Highlight tagged "mixed."
- Source Health: YouTube Failed (403), Blogs/RSS Failed (403 direct + proxy), Web OK, X Skipped. Datacenter-IP block, consistent with all prior cloud runs. Run carried entirely by web search.
Duration: ~1 run (approx.)
