🪐 Agentic — agents.aguidetocloud.com

The cockpit-style field guide for techies building with agents. Plain English meets info-density.

Agentic Planet curates the whole agentic-AI ecosystem in plain English with honest opinions and working recipes. Tech-only audience. No vendor spin. No fence-sitting reviews. Live data over fake liveness.

Built overnight 6–7 May 2026 in a single 13-hour push, then iterated through four polish rounds. 73+ pages live as of 7 May 2026.

Standalone planet — own physics

Agentic Planet does NOT follow cosmos rules. No shared cosmos-config. No shared cosmos-nav. No cross-planet rail. Sush's standing decision: "this doesn't have to follow the planet rule, it's a standalone planet with its own rules and physics."

What it DOES share with the cosmos family:

  • Sush's voice (plain English, honest take, Microsoft disclosure pattern)
  • The deploy-via-Cloudflare-Pages pattern
  • The CI guardrails (voice-lint, integrity-check, smoke-check, audit-claims)

Belief language (Agentic's dialect)

Agentic shares the cosmos belief but ratchets density up. Specific voice notes:

  • Honest opinions, no fence-sitting. "Use this. Skip that. Wait three months on this."
  • Vendors get reviewed, not sold. No marketing copy. The MCP scorecards are opinionated by design.
  • Microsoft disclosure on every Microsoft page. Mandatory pattern: "Sush works at Microsoft as a Copilot Solution Engineer. The take on this page is independent — not Microsoft's official position."
  • Live data over fake liveness. When something says "Live", it must actually be cron-fed. The first audit removed every fake "live since X" claim.
  • Tech-only audience. Density is allowed. Cmd+K is expected. We assume the reader has a terminal open.
  • Free + zero friction. Public site, no login, no email gate, no paid tier. Phase 2/3 may explore Ko-fi tip jar but never content gates.

Voice-lint forbidden words (enforced in CI): frontier · ecosystem · multimodal · agentic capability · in layman · AI-powered · robust · scalable · holistic · synergies · game changer · mission-critical · moat · differentiator · SEO magnet · flagship.

The 14-pillar information architecture

The pillars are the spine of the site. Each pillar is a top-nav surface and gets a landing page. Sush carved out all 14 pillars except #13 (newsletter — Pulse) and #14 (community) for v1. Tech-only audience by design.

Current published pillar mix (7 May 2026):

Architecture, in one paragraph

Astro 5 + MDX + React islands → Cloudflare Pages → custom domain. Build is ~10s for 49 pages including Pagefind index. Deploy is ~30s via custom REST API script (scripts/deploy.mjs) — wrangler is broken on win32-arm64. GitHub Actions cron every 6h refreshes MCP star deltas (schema v2 distinguishes repo vs monorepo-subdir; cron commits trigger redeploys). Auto-deploy on push to main. Integrity Check workflow (build + audit + voice-lint) hard-fails on any internal 404 or scorecard orphan. Pagefind ships in production with 3,181 words indexed.
