Anthropic accidentally wrote a portfolio roadmap for engineers
the career article gets the order right: Python, APIs, RAG, agents, deployment
this PDF gives you the missing map for the agent part
Anthropic splits agentic systems into workflows and agents
that distinction matters in a portfolio
show the pattern you used
- prompt chaining: split a task into fixed steps, with checks between them
- routing: classify the input, then send it to the right prompt, model, or tool
- parallelization: run separate calls side by side, then combine or vote
- orchestrator-workers: let one LLM break a messy task into subtasks
- evaluator-optimizer: have one LLM create, another critique, then loop
- autonomous agents: let the model plan and act with tools over many steps
that list is basically a project menu
build one small app for each pattern and document where it broke
a hiring manager can argue with a credential
it’s harder to argue with a deployed demo, readable logs, and a short note explaining why routing beat a single prompt
