Best Practices

Getting the Best Results

1. Provide Comprehensive Context

The more context you provide in the project brief and interactions, the better the agent recommendations.

2. Use the Intake Agent First

Always start with the Intake Agent to establish clear project context before engaging domain agents.

3. Review Agent Outputs

Agent recommendations should be reviewed and adapted to your specific situation. They provide expert frameworks, not one-size-fits-all solutions.

4. Iterate and Refine

Don’t expect perfect output on first try. Engage in dialogue with agents to refine recommendations.

5. Track Performance

Use the analytics dashboard to understand which agents and prompts work best for your use cases.

Prompt Engineering Tips

When interacting with agents:

• Be Specific – Clear, detailed queries get better responses
• Provide Constraints – Budget, timeline, resource limitations
• Ask for Examples – Request concrete examples and case studies
• Request Formats – Specify if you want lists, tables, narratives, etc.
• Follow Up – Ask clarifying questions to dive deeper

Safety and Security

• Protect Sensitive Data – Don’t share confidential client information
• Review Outputs – Verify factual claims and recommendations
• Maintain Human Oversight – Agents augment, not replace, human judgment
• Use Audit Logs – Track all agent interactions for compliance
• Rate Limiting – Configure appropriate limits to prevent abuse

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Agent Not Responding

Possible Causes:

• Invalid or expired Claude API key
• Network connectivity issues
