Mapping the AI tool stack: from intent to orchestration
The article analyzes six AI tools—Tessl, Goose, Archestra, Kestra, Modelplane, and protocols like RAG and MCP—by placing them on different layers of the agent loop. Tessl handles intent, Goose provides execution scaffolding, and Archestra manages orchestration and governance. The author argues that while plumbing layers have standardized, higher layers remain fragmented.

The piece offers a useful mental model for navigating the crowded AI tooling landscape, but its value is limited for readers not already familiar with the agent loop concept.
