I have been thinking about the exact same problem for a while and was literally hours away from publishing a blogpost on the subject.

+100 on the footnote:

> agents or workflows?

Workflows. Workflows, all the way.

The agents can start using these workflows once they are actually ready to execute stuff with high precision. And, by then we would have figured out how to create effective, accurate and easily diagnozable workflows, so people will stop complaining about "I want to know what's going on inside the black box".

Agreed, I started crafting workflows last week. Still not impressed with how poorly the current crop of models is at following instructions.

And are there any guidelines on how to manage workflows for a project or set of projects? I’m just keeping them in plain text and including them in conversations ad hoc.
