Program 02 / Agent workflows

A workspace. A task. A trace.

Explore longer tasks that require an agent to reconcile documents, manage state, and deliver a usable artifact.

Original illustrative taskProject design

01 / The task

Start with a concrete assignment.

Update a planning workbook using a revised brief, identify conflicting inputs, and document the assumptions behind the final version.

Input materials

Versioned workbooks, reference documents, messages, a revised request, and a delivery checklist. Include dates and ownership so the agent can distinguish authoritative instructions from superseded material.

02 / The workflow

Carry the task through.

  1. 01

    Inventory the workspace and identify the latest applicable instructions, conflicting figures, and files that depend on them.

  2. 02

    Update the workbook, trace affected formulas, and reconcile units, periods, and assumptions across the supporting documents.

  3. 03

    Recalculate outputs, check every requested artifact, and record the decisions behind the final handover.

03 / The deliverables

Work you can inspect.

  • 01Scenario files
  • 02Tool-call trace
  • 03Final workbook
  • 04Scoring record

04 / The evaluation

Make the criteria explicit.

Review source selection, cross-file consistency, intermediate calculations, and completion of the requested deliverables.

  • Every final figure can be traced to an input and a stated calculation.
  • Dependent files agree, with no stale formula results or unexplained competing versions.
  • The handover contains one final answer set and all artifacts requested in the brief.

Delivery boundary

Use an agreed, self-contained workspace for the pilot. Live account actions and business approvals are outside the example unless the project explicitly includes them.
