Choose a question to explore
The chapters follow an argument. These optional activities help you investigate a decision in your own work, with your agent or on your own.
Establish
- Move a prototype into shared use
A working CSV exporter is ready for a demo. What would make it ready for a team's weekly report?
Use with: Establish the evidence baseline - Challenge an explanation
An agent says a recorder prevents duplicate events after restart. Predict the behavior and test its claim.
Use with: Establish the evidence baseline - Compare evidence for an agent repair
Saving an event reports success, but the list stays unchanged. Compare task feedback, runtime logs, and a diagnostic brief.
Use with: Establish the evidence baseline
Challenge
- Follow a fix into running systems
A release succeeds and every health check passes. Decide what the runtime inventory still requires you to investigate.
Use with: Apply runtime pressure and examine recovery - Probe an API with temporary clients
A generated CSV client reports success but exports two rows. Design independent checks for a fixed paginated event feed.
Use with: Repeat the evidence collection
Compare
- Vary human work in progress
Keep the same worker limit while changing how many unfinished changes enter the workflow. Plan a bounded comparison.
Use with: Compare one agent with the fleet - Examine a confident classification
Twenty valid classifications report 90% confidence. Examine the evidence before using that score to route work.
Use with: Compare one agent with the fleet
