Topics: loop engineering, graph engineering, verification, human review, knowledge work
Summary: Nufar Gaspar explains how knowledge workers can use agent loops and connected workflows. The central lesson is to define a checkable completion condition before asking an agent to repeat work. The session includes a Claude Code demonstration.
Why it matters: A practical introduction to verification and stopping conditions for non-software work. Treat the demonstration as practitioner instruction, not proof that unattended agents are reliable for every task.
Connection to the brief: Directly supports the brief’s loop, graph, context, agent-workflow, evaluation, and human-review focus areas.
Original commentary: Use the episode to develop a workshop exercise: define a work outcome, a checkable acceptance test, a turn limit, and a human review checkpoint.
