Back to Beliefs
AI agents work best with clear constraints and feedback loops
Evidence
Ralph succeeds because it has atomic user stories with specific acceptance criteria and automatic progress tracking
Implication
Effective AI systems require upfront investment in clear specifications and automatic validation mechanisms
Counter Belief
AI should be flexible and adaptive, able to handle vague requirements through conversation and iteration
Example Application
