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.

Rethinking Custom Modules: How ECA Blew My Mind

During Palcera's implementation of the IXP Initiative platform, the power of ECA (Event, Condition, Action) challenged my assumptions about when custom modules are truly necessary. This experience demonstrates how mature contributed modules can efficiently handle complex business logic that traditionally required custom code. As a technical architect, I'm excited to help organizations leverage Drupal's ecosystem more effectively, improving development efficiency while reducing maintenance overhead through strategic use of existing solutions.
