Editing Design Your Agent Workflow (section)

== 🔧 Jump in (Tinkerers start here) ==

Pick a real project that involves at least three distinct types of work (research, analysis, creation, review, etc.). Examples: writing a report, planning an event, developing a proposal, building a content calendar.

'''Design a 3-4 agent workflow on paper or in a doc.''' For each agent, define:

| Agent Role || What it receives (input) || What it produces (output) || Handoff trigger

| Agent 1: Researcher || The project brief || A structured summary of key findings || "Research complete" + summary ready
| Agent 2: Drafter || Research summary + project brief || A first draft || Draft complete
| Agent 3: Critic || The draft + original brief || Specific critique with improvement suggestions || Review complete
| Agent 4: Editor || Draft + critique notes || Final polished output || Revisions applied

Now '''implement it''' using chained AI prompts. Open a chat for each agent (or reuse one chat with fresh role prompts). Run the workflow end-to-end:

'''Agent 1 prompt:'''
<blockquote>
You are a '''research analyst'''. Your job is to gather and organize relevant information. Here is the project brief: '''[paste your brief]'''. Produce a structured summary of the key information I'll need. Organize it by theme. Include 3-5 key insights and any risks or gaps you see.
</blockquote>

Take Agent 1's output and feed it to Agent 2:

'''Agent 2 prompt:'''
<blockquote>
You are a '''content drafter'''. Your job is to turn research into a clear first draft. Here is the project brief: '''[paste brief]'''. Here is the research summary: '''[paste Agent 1 output]'''. Write a first draft that addresses the brief. Focus on clarity and completeness. Don't self-edit — that's someone else's job.
</blockquote>

Take Agent 2's output and feed it to Agent 3:

'''Agent 3 prompt:'''
<blockquote>
You are a '''critical reviewer'''. Your job is to find weaknesses and suggest improvements. Here is the original brief: '''[paste brief]'''. Here is the draft: '''[paste Agent 2 output]'''. Identify: (1) gaps — what's missing that the brief requires, (2) weaknesses — arguments or sections that aren't convincing, (3) specific improvement suggestions with rationale. Do NOT rewrite the draft. Just critique.
</blockquote>

Take the draft and critique to Agent 4:

'''Agent 4 prompt:'''
<blockquote>
You are a '''senior editor'''. Your job is to produce the final version. Here is the draft: '''[paste Agent 2 output]'''. Here is the review feedback: '''[paste Agent 3 output]'''. Revise the draft to address the critique. Maintain the original structure where it works. Explain your key changes in a brief editor's note at the end.
</blockquote>

'''Feedback loop (optional):''' Take the final output and feed it back to Agent 3 for a second review. Notice how the quality changes with each iteration.
