A LONG PROMPT IS NOT THE SAME AS AN AGENT

A common mistake is writing a prompt of several thousand words and calling it an Agent.

A long prompt can contain a lot of instructions.

But a good Agent needs structure, not just a lot of words.

It is better to separate:

Instruction → how to work.

Knowledge → what needs to be known.

Data → the data of the current task.

Tools → the capabilities to use.

Workflow → the order of execution.

Stuffing everything into one prompt usually makes the system:

• hard to manage;
• hard to update;
• prone to conflicts;
• hard to tell where an error comes from.
