Introduction to Agentic AI and Workflow Automation

Module 02

Tasks, Goals, Instructions, and Stopping Rules

By the end of this module you can write a task with a goal, instructions and - the part everyone forgets - a stopping rule that ends the run whether or not it succeeded.

Units

  1. Unit 02.00: A goal you can tell has been reached
  2. Unit 02.01: Instructions that constrain rather than encourage
  3. Unit 02.02: The stopping rule everyone forgets
  4. Unit 02.03: Success, failure, and the third outcome
  5. Unit 02.04: Writing the task so someone else could check it
