Chapter 22

22Agents

Draft pending — this page is an outline of planned content. Write it by creating content/agents.md.

22.1What 'agent' actually means

Planned: A loop of plan-act-observe; autonomy as a spectrum, not a binary.

22.2Planning and memory

Planned: Decomposition, scratchpads, and external memory; ReAct-style loops.

22.3Multi-agent systems

Planned: Orchestrator/worker patterns; when more agents help and when they just add noise.

22.4Why agents are hard

Planned: Error compounding over long horizons; evaluation and cost.
