Summary
A December 2024 link post in which Simon Willison praises Anthropic’s “Building effective agents” for defining its terms clearly. It reports that article’s distinction between workflows and agents, the five workflow patterns it names, and the term Willison likes most from it — the augmented LLM — along with its advice to find the simplest solution before reaching for agents or frameworks.
