Field notes is the running engineering log from inside the Automatos platform — short, operator-first writing on how the router decides, how missions become directed acyclic graphs, how the memory layers fall over and recover, and how a real agent team behaves in production. Most posts are 3–10 minutes. New entries land weekly, plus or minus, from the team and our pilot operators. No hype, no thought-leadership, no posts about "the future of AI". The posts below are paper-thin slices of the actual day-to-day: cache hit rates, configuration regressions, mission engine diagrams, why the coordinator ticks every five seconds.
