Corresponding knowledge: Combine deterministic workflows with bounded exploration

When to use state charts and when to use autonomous agent loops? Can it be mixed?

Choose a recoverable orchestration structure around defined processes, dynamic exploration, checkpoints, and manual approvals.

Hands-on verificationComplete on demand · Suggestions15 minutes

Choose between fixed steps and autonomous exploration steps for the report generation process, and explain why.

Expand acceptance requirements and checkpoints
  • Key writing actions have deterministic control
  • Explore on a budget
  • Selection based on task constraints

Key inspections

  • Choose orchestration based on business uncertainty rather than framework popularity
  • Can explain the difference between checkpoints, thread state, and long-term memory
  • Identify risks of node recovery re-runs and side effects duplication
