Agents, prompts, and specialists

An agent is a model plus instructions, tools, parameters, and boundaries. Learn why a strong role describes a method and evidence standard—not just a personality.

Observe the general assistant

Ask for a plan review using an ordinary chat. Record what it checks and what it overlooks.

Try this prompt

Review this implementation plan for risks, missing tests, and unclear acceptance criteria.

Create a specialist method

Create an agent whose instructions require evidence, dependency tracing, failure cases, and a clear verdict. Keep the model unchanged.

Configure an agent

Compare method, not tone

A specialist is better only if it catches more real issues or produces more usable evidence. More severe language is not stronger verification.

Compare instruction profiles

Finish with an honest check

Complete the lesson only when you performed or deliberately inspected each observation—not simply because you read the page.
