Why I Believe in Agentic Recipes

I built my AI tooling one layer at a time, each piece added because something was breaking when I did not have it: scope, atomic guides, the curl rule, validators, the playbook. Working on the biggest tool I am still building, I hit a wall I had to name. Use drush is a rule. Wire responsive images for this project is an orchestration. Both are opinions, but they are not the same artifact shape. This post walks that journey to the layer I think is missing, and asks whether other people building AI tooling on real projects feel the same gap.
