Route guide
Examples explain when a direct response, single agent, API workflow, or multiple agents may fit the work.
Alpha status
A transparent view
Useful guidance, with the limits made clear.
Tangerine is an educational site. It offers practical ways to think about agents, APIs, context, and tokens without pretending to measure or recommend more than it can.

Work patterns explained
What is ready
The core guidance is usable today.
These parts are designed to help people make better decisions without depending on a specific model or platform.
Durable guidance
Task boundaries, tool contracts, and evidence loops provide a stable foundation for agent work.
Token basics
The site explains how instructions, files, tools, history, and responses contribute to working context.
What is illustrative
Some parts teach a concept rather than measure a system.
A comparison, not a meter
The context lab shows how added instructions, files, tools, history, and agents can increase complexity. Its score is not actual token usage or a percentage of any model limit.
Guidance, not classification
The examples help visitors choose for themselves. Tangerine does not analyze a prompt or claim that one route is always correct for a particular phrase.
What is evolving
The subject keeps moving, so the examples will too.
More real tasks
Broader examples will make the differences between routes easier to recognize across more kinds of work.
Clearer language
Terms will keep being revised when they are technically accurate but not immediately understandable.
Modern practices
Agent and API guidance will change as durable patterns emerge and older assumptions stop being useful.
