Agent-Native Architecture
Core Principles
Five principles govern agent-native design. For detailed explanations, examples, and test criteria, see core-principles.md.
| Principle | One-line test |
|---|---|
| Parity | Can the agent achieve every outcome the UI allows? |
| Granularity | To change behavior, do you edit prose or refactor code? |
| Composability | Can you add a feature by writing a new prompt, without new code? |
| Emergent Capability | Can the agent handle open-ended requests you didn't design for? |
| Improvement Over Time | Does the app work better after a month, even without code changes? |
Focus Area Selection
- Design architecture - Plan a new agent-native system from scratch
- Files & workspace - Use files as the universal interface, shared workspace patterns
- Tool design - Build primitive tools, dynamic capability discovery, CRUD completeness
