Workflow patterns

A conveyancing file is not one task. Reviewing the title, reading three search results, checking a lease, triaging forty emails a week and drafting a report on title are different jobs, with different inputs, risks and reviewers. Lesson 1 showed that you should give the model as little autonomy as the job allows. This lesson gives you the vocabulary for the space between "one model call" and "a fully autonomous agent": five workflow patterns that compose model calls in fixed, testable shapes. Most of the agents a team ships will be one of these, or a small agent that uses them inside.
