What it is
Section titled “What it is”Keep agent systems sharp: design and optimize when calm; slap and drain when on fire. A strategy is a claim about what kind of progress this moment owes the project — then a recognisable set of practices that tend to earn it.
Why it works
Section titled “Why it works”Without a named strategy, teams mix shipping, rewriting, and tidying in one thrashy session. Naming the strategy constrains tool choice and makes stop conditions obvious.
When to use it
Section titled “When to use it”Thrash, loops, dumb workflows — or greenfield agent design. Never optimize a runaway; slap first.
