A new book, "Master of the Lake," introduces Contract Style Comments (CSC) as a method for governing AI agents during the "Agentic Epoch." This approach shifts from traditional prompt engineering to a contract-based system, defining explicit requirements, explanations, and unchangeable boundaries for agent behavior. CSC aims to prevent "system silent-death," a failure mode where agents appear functional but subtly drift from their intended purpose, by ensuring continuous verification of agent compliance with defined contracts.
