Editor's note: The platforms start shipping their canonical answers to the agent stack. Yesterday's slate was community-built layers — VCS, sandbox, memory, audit, catch. Today: Anthropic releases its official Skills repo, Microsoft drops an eval CLI, Google expands Gemini's RAG to multimodal, Nous puts out a self-improving agent runtime. Plus two community kitchen-sinks that show what "production agent stack" is starting to mean in practice.

Editor's note: The supply chain around AI coding agents is filling out one layer at a time. Today's slate covers six rungs of that stack — what to build (spec), who builds it (provider switch), where it runs (sandbox), what it remembers (memory), what it did (audit), and what got broken (lint). The pre-AI dev pipeline (linter, type checker, test runner, CI, code review) took twenty years to mature. The post-AI version is being built right now.
