What you'll learn
Structure a plan, act, observe, correct loop
Build each stage live and see what each one catches that the others miss.
Add a self-check that catches drift early
Insert a verification step so errors surface before they reach the user.
Decide when a loop is the wrong tool
Use a clear test for when a plain workflow will beat a loop on cost and reliability.
Why this topic matters
Better prompts stopped fixing the problem a while ago. Reliability comes from the loop: how the agent plans, acts, checks its own work and recovers when it is wrong. Most people skip straight from a single prompt to a chain and never build the part that makes the system self-correcting. That gap is why agents look fine in a demo and fail in front of users.
