There's a gap between what AI agents can do and what they actually know how to do well. An agent might be capable of writing code, generating documentation, or auditing an API — but without the right context, it's guessing. Agent skills are the answer to that gap. naftiko.io/blog/agent-s...

For this edition of the Naftiko Capabilities podcast I sat down with Dániel Emőd Kovács Deterministic SDK Generation, OpenAPI Overlays, and Better DX with Agent Skills. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2K9...

Something fundamental shifted the moment AI copilots moved from novelty to daily fixture in developer workflows. The README you wrote for onboarding humans three years ago is now being parsed, followed & acted upon by autonomous agents & it was never designed for that job. naftiko.io/blog/your-do...

We are at the MCP Conference in NYC today, learning about the risk involved with using MCP.

In today's episode of the Naftiko Capabilities podcast I sat down with Jennifer Riggins to talk about developer experience, platform, artificial intelligence, and the humans in the loop. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnAZ...

If you've spent any time connecting AI agents to your development workflow, you know the feeling: a dozen JSON config files scattered across your machine, each with slightly different schemas, different key names, and different scoping rules. - naftiko.io/blog/the-mcp...

The Model Context Protocol has taken the developer tooling world by storm. But as adoption accelerates, a critical question is being overlooked: what exactly should go inside the context window? naftiko.io/blog/right-s...

Every engineering team has them — the developers who've cracked the code on working with AI assistants. They've built custom skills, dialed in their MCP configs, written slash commands that save hours per week. They're shipping faster than everyone else. www.linkedin.com/pulse/your-b...

We sat down with Emmanuel Paraskakis of Level 250 to talk about API products, API design, and spec-driven development in today's episode of the Naftiko Capabilities podcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WPP...

"We have 14 competing standards," someone says. "Ridiculous. We need to develop one universal standard that covers everyone's use case." "We now have 15 competing standards." If you work in APIs, you're not living in a simulation. You're living in that cartoon. naftiko.io/blog/from-a-...

Long before we wrote equations, contracts, or specifications, we told stories.

The best tool for the job? The one your team never has to log into. Stop forcing developers out of their workflow. Meet them where they already are. 🔧

Every enterprise now needs an AI infrastructure opinion, whether they like it or not. The arrival of large language models didn't just introduce a new tool — it forced organizations into a reckoning with their own readiness. naftiko.io/blog/the-fou...

If you've ever tried to generate code from a JSON Schema & watched your tooling quietly give up halfway through, you're not alone. It's a frustration that Clemens Vasters, Principal Architect for Messaging and Real-Time Intelligence Services at Microsoft, knows intimately. naftiko.io/blog/json-st...

In today's episode of the Naftiko Capabilities podcast I sit down with Clemens Vasters to talk about JSON Structure and how the specification and supporting tooling can help us think about JSON and YAML schema validation and composition. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Stre...

For years, we’ve said “design first” when talking about APIs--only recently has that idea become truly practical at scale. At its core, design-first is a product mindset applied to APIs. If an API is a product—just like any other product—it deserves the same discipline. naftiko.io/blog/design-...

@pa-dev.bsky.social How has being a "full snack developer" changed in the era of artificial intelligence? ;-)

Governance gateway for AI agents

Cloudflare's network supports real-time content conversion for enabled zones using content negotiation headers, when AI systems request pages from any website, they can automatically express the preference for text/markdown in the request. blog.cloudflare.com/markdown-for...

Security tooling has a reputation problem with developers. Alert too early and you're noise. Gate too late and you're a blocker. So where's the sweet spot? naftiko.io/blog/finding...

I sat down with Anna Daugherty, CPMM of Arnica to talk about AppSec & governance at the intersection of IDE, Copilots, Git, Pipelines, and source code in today's episode of the Naftiko Capabilities podcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5ZJ...

Emmanuel Paraskakis came by to talk API products and AI with me today during my live weekly conversation, and shared some insight into what spec-driven development is all about.

For decades, code has been king. Specifications existed to serve code. Product requirement documents (PRDs), architecture diagrams, and technical plans were scaffolding—useful early on, but quickly outdated. naftiko.io/blog/why-spe...

Specification-Driven Development (SDD) - For decades, code has been king. Specifications served code—they were the scaffolding we built and then discarded once the "real work" of coding began. github.com/github/spec-...

What are the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) at both geopolitical and industry-specific levels naftiko.io/blog/navigat...

I discuss the highest levels of AI with Simon Wardley, and how to stay sane in the depths of the hype cycles with Kevin Swiber and Mike Amundsen in this week's episode of the Naftiko Capabilities podcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ombZ...

We spent the last several months talking to platform teams, API architects, and integration leaders across the enterprise. We asked a simple question: What's actually blocking you right now? www.linkedin.com/pulse/enterp...

The API economy is evolving faster than the tooling, governance, and organizational muscles built to support it. After dozens of conversations with platform teams, API architects, and integration leaders across the enterprise, a pattern has emerged. naftiko.io/blog/42-prob...

Product managers are connecting copilots to Jira and Confluence through MCP servers. Sales reps are wiring up CRM integrations. The Model Context Protocol has made it remarkably easy for anyone to plug third-party services into their AI workflows. - naftiko.io/blog/shadow-...

API governance has always had a branding problem. The word "governance" conjures images of gatekeeping, enforcement, & pipeline failures. What we're seeing now is a fundamental shift in how that help gets delivered — and it's converging on a familiar pattern -- the README. naftiko.io/blog/the-fut...

There's a quiet standoff happening inside enterprises right now. On one side: engineering teams eager to ship AI-powered integrations using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and real-time streaming. naftiko.io/blog/is-mcp-...

Every new wave of technology brings a familiar chorus: "This will kill everything that came before it." GraphQL was going to kill REST. MCP was going to kill all APIs. Now MCP apps are supposedly going to kill all web UIs. naftiko.io/blog/are-age...

What is JSON Structure? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc11...

Every platform leader eventually faces the same uncomfortable question from the executive floor: "Are we actually getting value from our API investments?" naftiko.io/blog/the-hid...

Clemens Vasters is coming by tomorrow for my Thursdays webinar conversation @ 10:00 AM EST to talk about JSON Structure, a data structure definition language that enforces strict typing, modularity & determinism. Register - bit.ly/3O0gOsl & JSON Structure - json-structure.github.io/core/draft-v...

AI copilots have quickly become a board-level expectation. Once leadership sees a demo—natural language queries flowing seamlessly into internal systems—the question is no longer if but how fast.

On this week's Naftiko Capabilities podcast, I sat down with Christian Posta, CTO at Solo.io, to dig into a question that's been on my mind: what's the role of a gateway in the age of AI agents? naftiko.io/blog/what-is...

Talking with Christian Posta about the role of the gateway in todays enterprise landscape, exploring identity and access management, commercialization, and what is shifting with AI, and specifically the Agent Gateway. youtu.be/xuiTNyCKMQ8?...

AI success hinges on designing your API landscape based on business capabilities, not resources, says API expert @kinlane.bsky.social. By @charleshumble.bsky.social, thanks to @naftiko.bsky.social

Patrick Kelly came by this morning for a talk on context engineering during my Tuesday's weekly webinar. The highlights from the conversation show up as a Naftiko Capabilities podcast in coming weeks, but here a short to wet your appetite. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar4S...

In this short, we delve into the innovative ways developers are extending the OpenAPI specification to accommodate custom use cases and data injection. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlLl...

The AI agent social network called Moltbook has officially reached fever pitch. Your inbox and social media is flooded. Your leaderships is asking questions. Your teams are either panicking or overselling what this means for the business.

As we map out the next phase of the Naftiko roadmap, one question keeps surfacing in our planning sessions: how do we protect the sustainability of our business while staying true to the open-source is so important to us and our customers? naftiko.io/blog/why-wer...
