Designing Agentic Systems

Agentic systems perform multi-step work, use tools, observe results, and decide what to do next within defined boundaries.

This template diagram previews how an eventual agent architecture could be presented.

Learning goals

• Decide when an agent is justified and when a simpler workflow is better.
• Define tools, stopping conditions, and failure handling.
• Place human checkpoints around consequential actions.

Applied outcome

Create a bounded agent design and an evaluation plan before implementing it.
