Building scalable AI agents with modular prompt transpilation- Google Developers Blog
SummaryAI, from the source post

This post introduces a novel approach to AI agent development by treating prompts as build artifacts rather than static text. It proposes modular prompt transpilation, enabling developers to break down complex agent instructions into smaller, manageable skill files. This facilitates better collaboration, testing, and CI/CD integration by applying software engineering principles like dependency management, static validation, and drift checking to AI agent prompts. The post also highlights the potential for agents to contribute to their own instruction layer through proposed code changes.
