Clear goals and on-demand context
Jacob explains his approach to agent instructions.
Linear engineer Jacob recommends giving an AI agent a well-defined goal and access to tools for loading relevant skills and guidance, rather than packing every detail into its initial instruction. His concern is that too much supplied context can cause the agent to emphasize information that is not important to the task. Peter Yang notes that an agent can search for what it needs; Jacob agrees that this lets it assemble its own task-specific context.
