This chapter is on the roadmap.

This chapter is the operator-agent loop in long form: composing your agents, the four-state lifecycle, the moment a receipt makes a difference.

What it will cover
  1. 01 Composing an agent: skills, model, scope, escalation policy.
  2. 02 The four-state lifecycle: claimed, running, escalated, accepted.
  3. 03 Watching agents work: the console, the heartbeat, when to step in.
  4. 04 Trusting the output: receipts that survive the customer's audit.
  5. 05 Cost discipline: model spend, rework, the senior engineer on Thursday.
One workspace. One bill. One Monday from now.

One Monday from now, your stack is one app.
