Agents Best Practices
Agents Best Practices: Provider-neutral agent skill for designing, auditing, and refactoring agent control loops.
This provider-neutral agent skill helps design, generate MVP blueprints for, audit, refactor, and explain agent architectures across research, support, operations, sales, finance, and other domains. It focuses on the control plane around the model, ensuring the model proposes actions while the system validates, authorizes, executes, records, and returns observations. The resource supports workflow orchestration, context management, tool permissions, environment-adaptive discovery, and speculative tool execution. It works with various agent platforms and provides structured guidance for production readiness, troubleshooting, and evaluations.
