Agent Engineering Fundamentals

Learn the system map before choosing prompts, retrieval, memory, tools, loops, graphs, or multiple agents.

The later techniques are easier when context, retrieval, state, memory, and orchestration are not blurred together.2–3 sessions

What You’ll Be Able to Do

  1. 01Trace one model request from tokens and context to a sampled response
  2. 02Separate context, retrieval, thread state, checkpoints, durable tasks, and long-term memory
  3. 03Choose the smallest control structure from one call through tools, loops, graphs, and multi-agent systems
