Agent Workflow Graph Lab
Start from an over-engineered coordinator graph and find the smallest topology that earns its complexity.
Experience
Work the problem before reading the explanation.
Reflection
Turn the outcome into a rule you can reuse.
Learn More
Connect the experience to concepts, references, and transfer.
LEARNING CONTEXT
Learning context
Graph complexity is justified only when decomposition creates more value than coordination, state and failure-propagation cost.
Mental models
- S08-M01Loop vs Graph responsibility boundary
- S08-M02Sequential, conditional and parallel topology trade-offs
- S08-M03Delegation contract and shared vs isolated state
- S08-M04Independent verification, coordination cost and correlated failure
Suggested backfill
No shipped prerequisite is required before entering this incident.
Transfer the model
Two independent workers now share mutable state. Decide whether parallelism still improves the system after coordination risk is included.
Next
Carry the idea into another problem or build.
Local iteration and global orchestration are different responsibilities.
The capstone combines Prompt, Context, Harness, Loop, Graph, and Evaluation.
