Week 13 briefing — 2026-07-05

[Katherine-Peng]

What this does

Runs the weekly learning briefing (prompts/weekly-briefing.md) for Week 13 · Multi-agent orchestration (design lens) and commits the updated local state. The briefing itself was published to Notion as a new child page under Learning Agent Recommendation: https://app.notion.com/p/39482e5a5fa38177b2cff67f21d299dd

Files changed

• config/previously-recommended.md — added this run's 6 URLs, plus backfilled the ~18 URLs from the three prior Week 13 briefings (06-14/06-21/06-28) that had never been logged, fixing dedup drift (the log previously stopped at Week 7).
• logs/run-2026-07-05.md — run log.

Notes

• Idempotency guard did not trigger — the most recent existing Week 13 page is 7 days old (outside the 3-day window), so the run proceeded.
• Network: YouTube + blog/Substack RSS (direct and rss2json proxy) returned wholesale 403 on this datacenter IP, same as prior runs; the run was rebuilt entirely via web search.
• Strong signal: this is the fourth consecutive Week 13 briefing with all Week 13 checklist items still unchecked. Fresh Tier-1 orchestration content is exhausted — recommend advancing the checklist to Week 14. Surfaced in the Notion callout, the @mention, and the push notification.
• prompts/weekly-briefing.md and config/*.md still contain unresolved git merge-conflict markers; both sides were honored this run and the drift is flagged in the run log for cleanup.
