Three things change once you have an agent

A working agent is a one-off; a practice runs on systems.

This piece names the operational disciplines, the platform differences, and the manual chain that lets most CAS practices start today.

Your first agent's example doesn't exist yet

You have two pieces of a working agent — an instruction from Part 1, a context file from Part 3. The third piece is the example, and the trick is you don't write it. Run the agent without one. Fix the instruction or the context — not the output — until what comes back is what you'd send. That output is your example.
