Agent creation
a deliberate design act that involves identifying a need, specifying a trigger, defining behavior, setting success criteria, and planning for failure modes rather than a moment of decision or wish
Why This Is a Definition
This definition establishes the precise semantic boundary of 'agent creation' by naming it, identifying its genus (design act), and stating its differentia (specific stages including need identification, trigger specification, behavior definition, criteria setting, and failure planning). It explicitly distinguishes this from mere decision-making or hoping, which is central to the lesson's argument.
