Answers questions about, retrieves safe excerpts from, explains concepts from, and summarizes key arguments in Birgitta Böckeler's talk \"State of Play: AI Coding Assistants\" (AI Native Dev conference, 2026). Use when the user asks about the last 12 months in AI coding assistants, model-task fit, LLM statelessness, context window and attention trade-offs, coding harnesses, harness engineering/context engineering, skills/MCP/sub-agents/plugins/hooks, guide-and-sensor feedback loops, background agents and swarms, review bottlenecks, AI coding costs, cognitive surrender, or risk-based supervision of coding agents.

From the source SKILL.md

Birgitta Böckeler uses the closing keynote to step back from weekly model churn and explain the broader state of AI coding assistants. Her frame is that practitioners need to understand the whole system: model capabilities, the coding harness around the model, context/harness engineering, guide-and-sensor loops, and the organizational costs of pushing toward more autonomy. The talk's practical advice is to match model, harness, context, and supervision level to the task's probability of failure, impact, and detectability rather than surrendering judgment to the newest tool.
