Pick an agent pattern by task shape, then adapt it.
A 21-chapter reference distilled into 18 prompt cards covering chaining, routing, parallel work, reflection, tools, planning, memory, recovery, guardrails, evaluation, and more.
How it works
The exact pipeline, end to end.
How it actually works
Exactly what it does — and when.
An agency operator combines the Reflection, Guardrails, and Evaluation cards in the documented order, fills the project-specific variables, and adapts each failure check to the client's actual tools and approval boundaries.
This vs the alternative
Why it's clearly worth it.
The shift it creates
- A pattern is chosen by a catchy name
- Prompts omit predictable failure cases
- One technique is used where a small composition is needed
- Choose patterns from the task shape and failure mode
- Copy a canonical prompt template with variable slots
- Review common failures and a marketing or agency recipe on every card
