Week 1 · Defining a structured plain text agent
From prompt to agent
Stop writing fragile chat prompts. Start architecting structured agent brains.
What you’ll explore
First 15 minutes: run a live agent
Trigger a live agent in the browser lab and see firsthand why a standard chat prompt breaks when real world inputs get messy.
The anatomy of a RAC agent
Move from unstructured prompting to a structured plain text RAC definition. Map the agent’s Role, Business Context, Decision Logic, and Output Contract.
Live lab challenge
Take over the agent from the live build that is misclassifying edge cases. Fix its reasoning behavior by refining its plain text RAC rules.
