Lesson list

  1. When agentic choice is justifiedArchitecture choices grounded in control flow, task variability, total effort and decision-relevant uncertainty.
  2. Goals, plans and stopping rulesGoals and plans with observable completion evidence, explicit scope, resource limits and bounded incomplete outcomes.
  3. Tools, observations and authorityTool selection and observation grounded in contracts, source trust and enforceable action authority.
  4. Memory and continuityRetained information supports continuity when its purpose, provenance, scope and currency remain visible.
  5. Supervision that can workReview evidence, approval gates, capacity and intervention controls make supervision operationally useful.
  6. Single and multiple agentsAgent decomposition follows dependencies, evidence origins, accountable coordination and total effort.
  7. Defining the operating envelopeA coherent operating envelope connects useful choice, authority, evidence, limits and supervision, and changes when a material condition changes.
  8. Final assessmentNew cases test whether bounded design decisions change appropriately with new evidence, constraints and authority.
