The Agent Loop: Gather Context, Act, Verify, Repeat
Master the core loop that makes a system an agent, why verification is the highest-leverage step, and how good tool interfaces (the ACI) drive reliability.
What you will be able to do
- ✓Sequence the four phases of the agent loop: gather context, take action, verify the result, repeat
- ✓Explain why a verification/feedback signal lets an agent self-correct before finishing
- ✓Recognize the agent-computer interface (ACI) as being as important as the prompt
- ✓Use ground-truth signals like tests as the verify step of a coding agent's loop
