The method

Specify outcomes, not every step

For verifiable tasks, give clear goals, constraints, stopping conditions, and acceptance criteria.

When to use it

  • The Agent has the capability and results can be verified.

Ask yourself

  • Should an Agent instruction prescribe every action?

Put it into action

  • Separate genuine business constraints from habitual paths, let the Agent explore implementation, and refine from results.

Keep these limits in mind

  • High-impact actions still require authorization. This is not unlimited autonomy and does not fit unverifiable tasks or insufficient capability.
