What does it mean that agent sequencing?

Some agents must run in a specific order — define the sequence explicitly.

Example: You have a morning routine with three cognitive agents: a planning agent that sets your priorities for the day, an energy-assessment agent that gauges your current capacity, and a scheduling agent that assigns tasks to time blocks. You have been running all three at the same time — sitting down with coffee and trying to plan, assess energy, and schedule simultaneously. The result is a muddle: you schedule deep work for 9 AM before checking whether you slept four hours or eight, or you assign priorities before knowing which meetings already claimed your afternoon. Now restructure the sequence: energy assessment first (what do I actually have to work with today?), then priority setting (given my capacity, what matters most?), then scheduling (given priorities and energy, when does each thing happen?). Same three agents. Defined sequence. The output transforms from noise into a coherent operating plan.

Try this: Identify a recurring multi-step cognitive process in your life — your weekly review, your project kickoff routine, your content creation workflow, your decision-making process for purchases over $500. List every distinct evaluation or judgment you make during that process. These are your agents. Now ask, for each pair: does this agent need the output of that agent to function correctly? Draw the dependency arrows. Arrange the agents into a sequence that respects every dependency. Write this sequence down as a numbered list. Run the process once using your explicit sequence and note whether the output quality differs from your usual unsequenced approach.
