Design agentic workflows that can plan, retrieve, reason, call tools, and request input.
Define authorization boundaries, memory and state, failure recovery, escalation, and human checkpoints.
Develop reusable components that support multiple use cases.
Use modern AI tools to prototype, document, test, troubleshoot, and accelerate implementation.
Define measurable acceptance criteria and representative evaluation datasets.
Test accuracy, consistency, unsupported claims, latency, token use, and cost.
