MendCode uses context options, repo instructions, model roles, packages, and custom AGENTS.md-style guidance to decide what belongs in the model window.contextpromptsagentscustomization | https://mendcode.dev/blog/context-intelligence-not-prompt-bloat |
| Product · Jun 19, 2026 · 20 min readOwn your cockpit: the coding terminal is product surface nowThemes are not enough. Agentic work needs profiles, widgets, custom pages, package-shaped workflows, and a terminal surface that matches how the team actually thinks.customizationtuiwidgetsprofiles | https://mendcode.dev/blog/customizable-tui-product-surface |

Otherwise it becomes invisible lore that bends every future session.memorydreamreviewcontinuity | https://mendcode.dev/blog/memory-center-dream-side-chat |

Usage Insights should help them operate that machine locally without turning developer behavior into surveillance.usageprivacyfounder-economicslocal-first | https://mendcode.dev/blog/usage-insights-local-first |

MendCode packages make workflows composable: skills, profiles, prompts, widgets, pages, context, themes, MCP, and policy in one inspectable unit.packagesskillsworkflowsecosystem | https://mendcode.dev/blog/shareable-packages-and-skills |
| Engineering · Jun 15, 2026 · 18 min readPermission theater sucks. Agent speed needs real boundaries.As agents get faster, permission prompts cannot be vague interruptions. They need blast-radius context, smart review, and visible boundaries inside the coding surface.permissionssmart-approvesecurityagents | https://mendcode.dev/blog/permissions-in-the-coding-surface |
