agent-system-design skillA

agent-system-design is agent-read markdown (skill) from akillness/jeo-skills: Production agent SLA discipline — MAX_LOOPS, MAX_TOKENS, MAX_COST, MAX_LATENCY, MAX_TOOL_CALLS, circuit breakers, sovereignty boundaries, degradation modes. Use before deploying any autonomous loop to production..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Agent System Design

## Overview

Demos run forever; production cannot. This skill defines the **five budgets** every production agent must enforce, the circuit breakers that stop runaway loops, and the sovereignty rules that keep agents from straying outside their domain.

## When to use

- Moving an agent from prototype to production
- An agent looped, spent $200, and produced nothing useful
- You can't answer "what is this agent allowed to do?" in one sentence
- Need to set SLO/SLA with stakeholders
- Multi-agent system where one agent can call another

## The five budgets

| Budget | Default cap | When exceeded |
|--------|-------------|---------------|
| `MAX_LOOPS` | 25 iterations | Stop, hand to human |
| `MAX_TOKENS` | 200k per run | Summarize state, restart |
| `MAX_COST_USD` | $2 per run | Hard stop, page operator |
| `MAX_LATENCY_S` | 300s wall clock | Return partial, log incomplete |
| `MAX_TOOL_CALLS` | 50 per run | Stop, suspicious behavior |

Caps are **per run**, enforced by the harness, not by prompting the LLM.

## Loop termination rules

Stop when ANY of these is true:
1. Goal verified (tests pass / acceptance criteria met)
2. Budget cap hit

How to install

Latest version
mdr add akillness/jeo-skills/agent-system-design@git:20260920.2a2b733
Exact content
mdr add akillness/jeo-skills/agent-system-design@sha256:2250a620a8c06db1

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
