How to improve an AI agent from real failures
Treat a poor output as evidence about the system, not an invitation to add a vague longer prompt.
- 01
Classify the failure
Locate the issue in input, instruction, tool, evidence, state, evaluation or handoff.
- 02
Make a focused change
Adjust the smallest responsible control and preserve the original case.
- 03
Re-run the suite
Confirm the fix without weakening performance or safety elsewhere.
