Building Weekstart: a Monday checklist for people who run AI agents

I’ve been running agents long enough to dread Monday mornings — not because of the work, but because something in the stack quietly moved over the weekend: a default model flip, a tool-path deprecation, an MCP permission that used to ask and now just says yes.

So Im building Weekstart Brief (by Stackyard): a short operator briefing that is not another AI hype firehose.

Each issue is meant to answer one question before coffee cools:

What do I need to set straight in my agent stack before I unlock the week?

Shape so far:

1. TL;DR for operators
2. What changed (platform / pattern shifts)
3. Data structures & schemas to know
4. Tool & API watch
5. Monday checklist
6. Agent-ingest notes (human brief + optional JSON pack for bots)

Issue 1 is free to read in full — primary sources only, must-patch tags, blunt tone:

I’m posting here less to “launch and more to get format feedback from people who ship:

• Too dense?
• Wrong section order?
• Would you actually run a Monday checklist like this?

If you run agents for work (or you’re building the harnesses), Id love honest takes.
