What does 'Parity' mean in agent-native design?

Parity is the principle that an agent should be able to achieve any outcome that a user can perform through the UI. If a user can click a button to tag a file, the agent must have a tool to perform that same action.

What is an agent-native application?

An agent-native application is software designed where agents are central participants. Instead of hard-coding every feature, developers provide agents with atomic tools and define features as outcomes achieved through autonomous loops.

How do agent-native apps improve over time without code changes?

They improve through accumulated context, where the agent learns user preferences, and through prompt refinement, where behavior is tuned by editing natural language instructions rather than refactoring backend code.

Why is tool granularity important in this architecture?

Granularity ensures tools are simple primitives (like read/write). This empowers the agent to use judgment to compose these primitives into complex solutions, allowing for emergent capabilities that weren't explicitly programmed.

开发者工具

Design and build applications where autonomous agents are first-class citizens using atomic tools and prompt-driven features.

关于

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for building 'agent-native' software, shifting the focus from hard-coded features to outcomes achieved by autonomous agents operating in loops. By following core principles like UI-agent parity and tool granularity, developers can create flexible systems where new capabilities are defined through prompts rather than code changes. This approach enables emergent behaviors, where agents solve problems the developer didn't explicitly anticipate, and facilitates self-improving architectures that evolve through context accumulation and prompt refinement.
