Copy these moves
- Start every task with a one-line “definition of done” the agent must repeat back.
- Pin a reusable tone + security policy in your system prompt so every completion respects brand and compliance.
- Ask for three alternatives with risks annotated—choose, then let the agent implement.
Review habits
- Keep a running “regrets” doc and feed it into future prompts.
- Run the diff explainer prompt before merging; you’ll catch silent scope creep.
- Rotate between closed and open-weight models weekly to keep latency and costs in check.
Fast governance
- Budget per workflow, not per model—alert when costs rise 10%.
- Log every outbound call with a reversible toggle.
- Keep a public changelog so stakeholders see progress and receipts.
