ai is not mind reader it needs instructions .. so code becomes instructions which u need to manage to avoid mixing concepts and having the llm focus on problem size it can do reliably … the agentic loop thing is the back and forth to achieve the goal of your method call

i got this working with tests and all that … an agent is a class … when running is an object … it receives messages and responds to them just like calling a method on a class … the llm is the brain … agent instructions r in plain english

mike suarez @msuarz.bsky.social · 9d

same as now u work on a story and change your agents instructions or add new agents

mike suarez @msuarz.bsky.social · 9d

my take on it is classes become agents .. thats a size of agents quite diff from ur reg agent .. then those tiny agents need little instructions just declarative … llm executes the instructions

I'm ready to accept a definition of "agent" that I think is widely-enough agreed upon to be useful, at least in the AI engineering space:

An LLM agent runs tools in a loop to achieve a goal

(I've been dismissing the term as hopelessly ambiguous for years) simonwillison.net/2025/Sep/18/...

I think “agent” may finally have a widely enough agreed upon definition to be useful jargon now

I’ve noticed something interesting over the past few weeks: I’ve started using the term “agent” in conversations where I don’t feel the need to then define it, roll my eyes …
