Prepare Agent Architecture & SDLC
Integrate agents into the SDLC, set boundaries between planning and execution, and design observability & control surfaces.
- 1Identify SDLC Steps Where Agents Add LeverageMap the canonical agent loop onto the SDLC and recognise the high-leverage steps where AI agents amplify a team โ without replacing the engineers who own the outcomes.โฑ 8 minยท+40 XPยทeasy
- 2Mitigate Common Agent Anti-PatternsCatalog the failure modes that show up again and again in agent systems โ chat-as-architecture, infinite loops, prompt-stuffing, hidden side-effects โ and learn the specific controls GH-600 expects you to apply to each.โฑ 9 minยท+45 XPยทmedium
- 3Define Inputs, Outputs and Success CriteriaBefore you write a single prompt, you need a typed contract: what comes in, what goes out, and how you decide the run was a success. This topic gives you the framework GH-600 expects you to apply.โฑ 8 minยท+40 XPยทmedium
- 4The Planning / Execution BoundaryThe plan/execution boundary is the single most exam-relevant control in agent architecture. Learn where to place it, what validations belong on each side, and how to recognise scenarios where the boundary is missing.โฑ 9 minยท+45 XPยทmedium
- 5Structured Plan Output and Plan ValidationA 'plan' that is just a paragraph of text is not a plan โ it is a hope. Learn the schema GH-600 expects for a structured plan, the validations you can apply to it, and the failure modes a structured plan unlocks.โฑ 8 minยท+40 XPยทmedium
- 6Choosing the Right Autonomy LevelAutonomy is a dial, not a switch. Learn the GH-600 autonomy ladder, the guardrails required at each rung, and how to pick the right level for a given blast radius and reversibility.โฑ 9 minยท+50 XPยทmedium
- 7Designing Inspectable ArtifactsAn inspectable artifact is what turns an agent run from a black box into a reviewable change. Learn which artifacts the exam expects, how they compose, and the pitfalls that make them useless in practice.โฑ 8 minยท+40 XPยทmedium
