Day 2: The Conversation
Key question: How do we communicate with agents?
Today's ACIs
| ACI | Name | Takeaway |
|---|---|---|
| ACI-017 | The Delegation Model | Shift from "I write code, the AI helps" to "I define outcomes, the agent executes." Delegation requires specifying what you want, what you do not want, and how to verify. |
| ACI-014 | Context Engineering vs Prompt Engineering | A good prompt is a single interaction. Good context is the persistent environment that makes every interaction better. |
| ACI-024 | The Prompt That Worked | Task definition quality determines output quality more than any other variable. Constrain scope, declare dependencies, validate architecture before committing. |
| ACI-003 | Correction Erosion After Compaction | In long sessions, the context window fills and earlier corrections are compacted away. The agent is not ignoring you -- it cannot see the correction anymore. |
| ACI-007 | Cross-Project Contamination | Agents carry context from one project into another. Patterns and conventions from Project A appear in Project B. |
