Review this agent system for production readiness. System: [DESCRIBE] Current state: [PROTOTYPE / INTERNAL / LIMITED RELEASE] Users: [WHO AND HOW MANY] Failure impact: [DESCRIBE] Assess against: 1. Correctness — is there an eval set, does it run, what does it cover 2. Safety — guardrails, approval gates, blast radius limits 3. Observability — could someone debug a bad run 4. Reliability — retries, timeouts, circuit breakers, graceful degradation 5. Cost — is spend bounded, is it monitored, what happens on a runaway 6. Security — credential handling, permission scoping, injection defences 7. Data — what is retained, for how long, under what basis 8. Operations — who is on call, what alerts fire, what the runbook says 9. Change management — how prompts are versioned, how model changes are handled 10. Rollback — how to turn it off For each: ready, gap, or blocker. For each gap, the specific work required. Then: the three things I must fix before this touches real users, in order. Be strict. Agent systems fail in ways that are hard to detect and expensive to explain.
