Summary
Andrew Ng's playbook for AI agents emphasizes that architectural choices like loops and graph engineering are more critical than model selection, outlining stages such as reflection, tools, planning, and state management for building effective systems.

CLAUDE + LOOP + GRAPH ENGINEERING: ANDREW NG’S PLAYBOOK FOR AGENTS
architecture beats model choice. every time
it starts with one loop. an agent revising its own work. everything else is that same idea, scaled up
reflect -> tools -> plan -> collaborate -> graph
reflection - a critic checks the output against a rubric. 10-30% quality lift, day one tools - code, search, a database. stops hallucinating, starts checking planning - a plan gets written first. reroutes when a tool fails multi-agent - coder, reviewer, tester. different rubrics catch different errors graph - shared state everyone reads and writes to. the loop forgets, the graph doesn’t
what it looks like on disk:
agent-system/ ├── loop/ │ ├── critic.md - the rubric it checks itself against │ └── http://revise.sh - reruns until it passes ├── tools/ │ └── tools.json - code exec, search, db query ├── plan/ │ └── plan.md - steps written before it acts ├── roles/ │ ├── coder.md │ ├── reviewer.md │ └── tester.md └── graph/ └── state.json - the memory every role reads and writes
a loop externalizes revision. a graph externalizes state. each stage fixes what broke in the one before it
ran this on Claude this week. changed how i structure every agent system now
