Week 14 briefing — 2026-07-12 (advanced from exhausted Week 13)

[Katherine-Peng]

Summary

Weekly learning briefing run for 2026-07-12. Updates the dedup log and adds a run log; the briefing itself was published to Notion (Weekly Picks — Week 14).

Key decision this run — advanced Week 13 → Week 14. The current-week algorithm resolves to Week 13 (first week with zero checked items), but Week 13 has now been briefed four times (06-14, 06-21, 06-28, 07-05) with ~24 distinct picks covering the whole multi-agent-orchestration space, and every prior briefing recommended moving on. A fifth pass would violate the prompt's core quality-over-quantity principle, so this run advances the focus to Week 14 · Agent-Computer Interface + sub-agents (tool naming grammar, decomposition over consolidation, progressive disclosure at the API layer). The idempotency guard did not trigger a stop (most recent Week 13 page was 7 days ago, outside the 3-day window). The Notion page opens with a transparent explanation and nudges Katherine to tick Week 13 boxes so the checklist tracks reality.

Files changed

• config/previously-recommended.md — appended this week's 7 recommended URLs (log had not been updated since Week 7).
• logs/run-2026-07-12.md — run log, including the week-override rationale and Source Health.

The 7 picks (all net-new; diversity rule satisfied: 2 Product, 2 Design, ≤2 pure-engineer)

1. ⭐ Anthropic — Writing effective tools for agents (93)
2. ⭐ Smashing Magazine — Practical Interface Patterns for AI Transparency, Part 2 (88)
3. 🟠 Ethan Mollick — Management as AI superpower (84)
4. 🟠 Anthropic — Advanced tool use on the Claude Developer Platform (80)
5. 🟠 Luke Wroblewski — Showing the Work of Agents in UI (78)
6. 🔵 Netra Chandramohan — What Building AI Agent Skills Taught Me About PM (68)
7. 🃏 Simon Willison — Fable's judgement (74)

Notes

• Source Health: YouTube + Blogs/RSS both 403 (datacenter-IP block, consistent with prior cloud runs); run carried entirely by web search.
• The prompt and config files contain unresolved git merge-conflict markers (committed content, not an active merge) — flagged in the run log as a future cleanup item.
