Not dramatically, but fundamentally: I tried to force every agent to follow the same rules in the same format, because that&rsquo;s what my human instincts said made sense. The problem is those agents have completely different requirements. Gemini needs TOML. The others use Markdown. You can&rsquo;t just symlink your way to consistency.</p> <p>v2 fixes this by letting AI handle the translation — automated merging of global and per-agent configs, format conversion per tool, and intelligent symlink setup.</p> <p>The real lesson isn&rsquo;t about config management, though. It&rsquo;s about failing fast, iterating faster with AI than you ever could alone, and trusting the tools to solve problems your instincts would have you paper over. Are you letting your human instincts slow down your AI iteration cycles?</p> <p>Read more at <a href="https://coreydaley.dev/posts/2026/03/agent-config-v2-failing-forward-with-ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://coreydaley.dev/posts/2026/03/agent-config-v2-failing-forward-with-ai/</a> </p>
