FAQPage Schema
What is agent-native architecture and how does it differ from standard LLM application design?

Agent-native architecture is a design approach where autonomous agents are first-class citizens, enabling emergent capabilities and self-improving characteristics. It relies on core principles like Parity, Granularity, and Composability to structure applications for robust operation.

How do I design an autonomous agent system from scratch?

To design an autonomous agent system from scratch, apply a framework covering core principles, architecture patterns, and tool design. Implement event-driven architectures, shared workspaces, and approval gates to ensure scalable and robust autonomous operation.

What architecture patterns are used for building autonomous systems?

Architecture patterns for autonomous systems include event-driven architectures, shared workspaces, and approval gates. These patterns support autonomous operation by managing how agents interact with their environment and execute tasks safely.

How do I design tools for LLM agents in an agent-native application?

Design tools for LLM agents by creating primitive, atomic tools that perform single, well-defined tasks. Introduce domain-specific tools only when necessary to abstract complexity and enhance the autonomous system's emergent capabilities.

Can I refactor an existing codebase to become an agent-native application?

Yes, you can refactor an existing codebase into an agent-native application. The framework provides testing and refactoring practices to transition software design toward autonomous operation and integrate agents as first-class citizens.

When should I introduce domain-specific tools versus primitive atomic tools in autonomous systems?

Introduce primitive, atomic tools as the default in autonomous systems to maintain flexibility. Introduce domain-specific tools when you need to abstract repetitive complex operations, balancing the agent's emergent capability with targeted efficiency.
