A new framework lays out six sharp steps for building agents that actually ship. It kicks off with a grounded task, locks in SOPs, then tunes high-leverage prompts. The real choke point? LLM reasoning. Everything else—architecture, data flow, testing—is scoped to chase tight, measurable gains there...
