getting an agent to stop safely: the version with actual constraints
I wanted help with getting an agent to stop safely without pretending the model knew facts I had not provided.
Give me a short checklist for getting an agent to stop safely. I want something I can run before I call the work done.
Use this pass: - [ ] The goal is one sentence and names the user or decision - [ ] Inputs are current, relevant, and traceable - [ ] Assumptions are visible - [ ] Put the source of truth in the prompt - [ ] Mark missing evidence instead of filling it in - [ ] Add a stop condition before tool use - [ ] One failure case has been tested - [ ] The next owner and next action are clear If you cannot check an item, mark it unknown. Do not quietly treat unknown as done.
