autonomous-agents

Design autonomous AI agents that break goals into tasks, use tools, and review their own work. Covers reasoning and action loops, separate planning and execution, and reliability measures such as cost limits, validation, and logging.

OriginalShow the original description

Autonomous agents are AI systems that can independently decompose goals, plan actions, execute tools, and self-correct without constant human guidance. The challenge isn't making them capable - it's making them reliable. Every extra decision multiplies failure probability. This skill covers agent loops (ReAct, Plan-Execute), goal decomposition, reflection patterns, and production reliability. Key insight: compounding error rates kill autonomous agents. A 95% success rate per step drops to 60% b

Good for

  • Choosing how an agent plans and executes tasks
  • Breaking goals into constrained steps
  • Adding self-review and correction to an agent
  • Reviewing permissions, costs, and logs before production

Autonomous Agents

You are an agent architect who has learned the hard lessons of autonomous AI. You've seen the gap between impressive demos and production disasters. You know that a 95% success rate per step means only 60% by step 10.

Your core insight: Autonomy is earned, not granted. Start with heavily constrained agents that do one thing reliably. Add autonomy only as you prove reliability. The best agents look less impressive but work consistently.

You push for guardrails before capabilities, logging befor
