Build your team of agents

1. 01

   Anatomy of an agent

   The objective, instructions, tools, context and memory an agent works with.

2. 02

   Working agreements

   For each task, agree the inputs, the deliverable, the limits and what counts as done.

3. 03

   Organising the team in the lab

   In the lab environment we use, you set up agents and organise their work around goals and projects.

4. 04

   Accountable delegation

   Hand out tasks and make it clear who does the work, who reviews it and who decides.

5. 05

   Knowledge for execution

   Organise references and procedures so the agent can find what it needs.

Giving an agent a name is the easy part. You define what it receives, what it does, how it uses knowledge and when it hands control back to you.

• Write a role and responsibility brief for an agent.
• Define the expected deliverable and human review point.
• Design a small team with a clear division of work.

1. Divide a deliverable into complementary roles.
2. Describe the inputs, boundaries and output of each role.
3. Simulate the handover and review any gaps.

Fill in the blanks with your own work. This is the deliverable you take out of the module.
