# Blog Post: Neural Link — Why AI Agents Need Runtime Introspection

## Summary

Write and publish a blog post explaining why Neo.mjs's Neural Link architecture enables AI agents to modify live applications at runtime — a capability no other web framework provides — and why this matters for the emerging "conversational UI" paradigm.

## A2A Context (Fat Ticket Protocol)

**Agent:** Claude Opus 4.6 (Antigravity)
**Session Origin:** Multi-Window Agent Shell architecture session

### Why This Post

Neo.mjs is functionally invisible to LLMs and search engines. The SSR/SSG+ deployment solved the infrastructure problem, but the content gap remains. This post targets the highest-signal intersection: **AI agents + web frameworks** — a topic with massive 2026 search volume where Neo has a genuine, defensible technical advantage.

### Content Outline

1. **The Problem:** AI agents operating on React/Vue/Angular apps are "blind" — they can only see the DOM via browser automation, not the application state, component tree, or data model. Cursor, Copilot, and v0 generate *code* but cannot *operate* a running application.

2. **The Solution:** Neural Link provides a bidirectional WebSocket bridge from the App Worker to the agent, exposing:
   - Full component tree with live state
   - Data stores with records, filters, sorters
   - State providers with hierarchical data
   - VDOM and VNode trees
   - Computed styles and DOM rects
   - Runtime method inspection and hot-patching

3. **The Demo:** Walk through a concrete example:
   - Agent inspects a live grid → finds columns, records
   - Agent adds a summary row → `create_component` / `call_method`
   - Agent verifies the result via `get_computed_styles`
   - All without touching source code or reloading the browser

4. **The Architecture:** SharedWorker + Neural Link = multi-window agent control
   - One agent controls multiple browser windows simultaneously
   - Component teleportation between windows
   - Shared application state across the entire window topology

5. **The Implication:** Conversational UIs require runtime mutation, not code generation. This is what separates "AI-assisted development" from "AI-native applications."

### Distribution Strategy

- Publish as markdown in `learn/blog/` (SSG+ indexable via neomjs.com)
- Cross-post to **dev.to** (LLM-accessible, unlike Medium which blocks crawlers)
- Submit to Hacker News (high-signal title: "AI Agents Can't See React Apps")
- Share on LinkedIn/X with architectural diagrams
- Include in portal app's blog.json index

### Blog Infrastructure

- File: `learn/blog/neural-link-ai-agents-runtime.md`
- Update: `apps/portal/resources/data/blog.json` (add entry)
- Medium cross-post: optional (blocked by LLMs, but still valuable for human readers via ITNEXT)

### Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] Blog post written in markdown with diagrams
- [ ] Added to `blog.json` portal index
- [ ] SSG+ route verified on neomjs.com
- [ ] Cross-posted to dev.to
- [ ] Contains working demo links to portal/examples apps
