A new post from The AI Frontier argues that agent builders may be pushing too far in either direction when they choose between code-heavy workflows and free-form Markdown prompting. The article presents that split as one of the more important architectural debates around agent design right now.
The authors contend that neither extreme appears sufficient on its own, with the stronger approach instead combining Markdown for intent and domain guidance with code for guardrails, tool execution, and orchestration. The full piece walks through why that hybrid model is gaining traction and what “agent-native” systems may need to support.
