The Current State of Content Negotiation for AI Agents (Feb 2026)

The web was built for humans, but now the agents are taking over. Humans look at a web page and see content rendered by their browser. AI agents see 180,000 tokens of nav bars, footers, and div soup — burning through their context window on junk that makes them slower and stupider. The web needs to evolve, and we as developers are driving the shift. AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Gemini are how we interact with documentation, CLIs, and products today.

Introducing: Checkly Agent Skills

AI coding agents are excellent at writing code. Ask Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor to add a feature, and it just works. At Checkly, we were ready for the new agentic world from the start! Monitoring as Code means your entire monitoring setup lives in your repository. API Checks, Browser Checks, alert channels, status pages; everything is defined in code, managed with the Checkly CLI, and version-controlled like any other part of your stack.
