@geminicli Last week, during my two-day deep dive into Agentic AI at @confooca, a student introduced me to the Conductor extension. After reviewing the GitHub repository, I realized it relies on “soft execution”, a well-known anti-pattern where AI is used as a runtime engine. The issue? AI is inherently non-deterministic. That non-determinism can lead to context drift, unpredictable behavior, and silent failure modes that are difficult to detect and debug. In this blog post, I break down why you should be cautious when building CLI extensions, and why using AI as the primary state or workflow engine can introduce serious architectural risks if not handled carefully. cc: @geminicli @googleaidevs https://t.co/Sasob1M0xW
