Production in the wildPutting agent output into the real world without quiet breakageA field checklist for testing the ugly cases, boundaries, and signals before you trust an agent beyond the chatProduction in the wildBefore You Fix It, Name It — Agent Failures Come in Four Recognizable ShapesBeginners see a wrong output and start fixing. People with the reps read the symptom first, then pick the right exitProduction in the wildAn agent is strong in the middle and falls at the edges — just as confidentlyRare cases are infrequent but expensive, and the agent has no flag for 'I'm not sure here'Production in the wildIt's right twenty times, so you stop looking. The twenty-first bites.Trust drifts up with each success — which is exactly how it banks risk without you noticingProduction in the wildSilence isn't fine — it's just that no one has looked yetPut the measure at the boundary, treat silence as suspicious, keep a known-bad case as a markerProduction in the wildHand It Something It Can't Do, and the Agent Won't Say No — It PerformsAn agent would rather build something that looks done than admit it's stuck — and it performs well enough that you believe itProduction in the wildIt's Not Stuck the Way That Throws an Error — It's Stuck the Way That Looks BusyA moving kind of silence: the agent doesn't stop, doesn't error, keeps 'working' — and runs the same move four times in a rowProduction in the wildThe Break Isn't in the Output — It's in an Assumption Two Steps BackWhen the result is wrong with no error line, reading it straight through is the slowest way. Halving the suspect zone is far fasterMeasure & improveYour prompt library is a living body, not a storage closetA good prompt you never save is lost. A bad prompt you never retire still charges you every time you pull it out. A prompt library is not a place to stash things — it is a set of assets with a lifecycle, and any lifecycle nobody tends decays.Start hereAI says wrong things in a right-sounding voice. That's the dangerous part.It doesn't frown when unsure — it answers everything with the same confidence, even when it's making things up
