FAQPage Schema
How do I systematically improve an existing agent's quality and template alignment?

To systematically improve an existing agent's quality and template alignment, use a gated upgrade workflow that enforces a structured pipeline including auditing, diffing, planning, and re-evaluating with scoring. This ensures objective, reproducible enhancements.

What is a gated agent upgrade pipeline and how does it work?

A gated agent upgrade pipeline is a structured workflow that enforces user approval gates between phases like auditing, planning, and implementation. It works by scoring the agent before and after changes to guarantee quality improvements and template alignment.

How do I ensure reproducible quality improvements when updating agent templates?

Reproducible quality improvements when updating agent templates are ensured by applying a controlled, multi-phase pipeline with objective scoring and retro-education. This enforces structural, contextual, and safety requirements during every modification.

Can I enforce plan gating and operator context during agent modifications?

Yes, you can enforce plan gating and operator context during agent modifications by utilizing an objective upgrade workflow. This process requires explicit user approval before implementation, ensuring controlled changes and strict adherence to safety requirements.

What's the best way to evaluate an agent before and after making changes?

The best way to evaluate an agent before and after making changes is to use a structured pipeline that applies scoring at the initial audit phase and a final re-evaluation phase, guaranteeing measurable quality improvements and template alignment.
