You Built the Agent. Don't Stop at Wiring. Agent Ops Is Next.

The capstone part 1 wired the agent. Operating it takes three architectures: a persona that defines the job, a decomposition that scales the work, and a session model that survives the closed laptop.

TL;DR

  • Production agents need a persona for job definition, decomposition for scaling work, and a session model for continuity.
  • The persona file is a job description detailing responsibilities, tools, and boundaries, with contracts enforced by hooks.
  • Decomposition (e.g., multi-pass) enables deeper analysis by processing items individually before synthesis, overcoming the limitations of single prompts.
  • Session models like '--continue', 'fork', and 'fresh_brief' manage context survival across interruptions, machine changes, and long durations.
  • These operational architectures are crucial for transforming basic AI agents into reliable production tools.
