Publishing a post

Drop a markdown file here: content/posts/<slug>.md. The filename is the URL — content/posts/why-agents-fail.md publishes at recursiv.io/research/why-agents-fail.

Everything else is automatic on the next deploy: the gallery card, the banner art, and the link-preview (OG) image are all generated from the front matter.

Front matter

---
title: "Why most agents fail in week two"
kicker: "Operations"          # small label above the title
motif: proof                  # banner style: identity | context | coordination | proof | controls | sovereignty
date: 2026-08-01              # newest posts sort first
read: "6 min read"
excerpt: "One sentence for the gallery card and the link preview."
lede: "A slightly longer opening line shown under the title on the article."

Write the article in **markdown** below the front matter. Headings with `##`,
lists with `-`, bold with `**`, and blockquotes with `>` (styled as pull quotes).

• motif is optional — leave it out and one is chosen from the slug. The banner is seeded by the slug, so two posts with the same motif still look different.
• The OG card is generated automatically; you never make an image by hand.
• New posts get their own unique /research/<slug> URL.
