Solid, practical write‑up on running an “agent” in production. Biggest takeaways for me: keep the base prompt tiny, inject context only when it’s actually needed, and eval on real traffic before adding multi‑agent complexity. Has anyone tried that “just‑in‑time” instruction style at scale—what broke first?
