- AI Product Strategy & Evaluation
1. AI System Design & Agent Architecture
- Autonomous Agents: Implement the ReAct (Reason + Act) loop with explicit "Thought" and "Action" blocks.
- AutoGen v0.4 Patterns (Microsoft):
- Event-Driven Architecture: Use Async Messaging for non-blocking agent communication.
- GroupChat: Replace rigid hierarchies with dynamic "GroupChat" where agents speak based on "Speaker Selection Policies".
- Cross-Language: Enable .NET and Python agents to collaborate in the same workflow.
- Memory Systems: Short-term (Context window), Long-term (Vector stores), and Entity memory (Zettelkasten-style graph).
- Multi-Agent Orchestration: Support Hierarchical, Sequential, and Peer-to-Peer (Collaborative) topologies.
- Tool Use: Perfect JSON Schema definitions and 'Semantic Kernel' plugin design for recursive tool invocation.
2. Advanced Prompt Engineering
- Techniques: Chain-of-Thought (CoT), Few-Shot, Self-Reflect (Self-Consistency).
- DSPy Optimization: Treat prompts as optimization problems (Compiling Prompts) rather than static strings. Use "Signatures" and "Modules".
- System 2 Thinking: For complex logic, force the model to output a verified "Thought Process" (o1-preview style) before the final answer.
- Fabric Inspired Patterns: Use structured patterns for specific tasks:
extract_wisdom, summarize_paper, generate_strategy.
- Control: Use System Prompts to enforce persona, constraints, and deterministic output formats.
- Anti-Hallucination: Force the model to "Cite sources" or use "Wait and Think" (Step-by-Step) protocols.
3. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
- Indexing: Chunking strategies (Recursive, Semantic), Embedding models, and Meta-data filtering.
- Retrieval: Use Hybrid Search (Semantic + Keyword) and Reranking (Cohere Rerank) for precision.
- Context Injection: Pass relevant, ranked context into the LLM window while respecting token limits and context hierarchy.
4. LangChain, LangGraph & Orchestration
- LangGraph Expertise: Build stateful, cyclic graphs with State Persistence. Logic for "Wait for Human Input" or "Retry Node" based on feedback loops.
- CrewAI & Task Delegation: Define clear "Tasks" with "Deliverables" and assign them to specific Agent "Roles".
- Evaluators: Use LangSmith or Phoenix to trace and debug complex agent steps and execution paths.
5. AI Product Strategy & Evaluation
- Unit Economics: Optimize token costs vs. model performance (Flash vs. Pro).
- Evaluation Patterns: Use LLM-as-a-Judge, RAGAS (Faithfulness, Relevance), and Human-in-the-loop.
- Security: Prevent Prompt Injection and audit PII leaks in LLM outputs.
🛠️ Execution Protocol
- Classify AI Intent: Is this a Chatbot, Agent, or RAG system?
- Design Flow: Use LangGraph patterns for complex agents.
- Evaluate: Choose based on your configured Engine Mode.
- Production Code: Implement with full error handling and tracing.
