Mission Engineering: Why Memorizing Steps Fails — Defining Task Inputs, Outputs, and Dependencies

This article uses hand-drip coffee as a case study to demonstrate mission engineering task analysis: decomposing tasks, specifying inputs/outputs/start conditions/completion criteria for each step, linking dependencies via quality gates, handling missing items, and distinguishing material independence from resource contention, all while remaining implementation-agnostic.

What Fermat's Last Theorem Formalization Reveals About Multi-Agent Collaboration

Anthropic's 11-day project formalizing Fermat's Last Theorem in Lean with 30,000 machine-checked theorems exposes five critical patterns for multi-agent systems: verifiable artifacts, dynamic task graphs, evidence-based planning, verification-gated state changes, and recoverable execution state.

Google's Multi-Agent Research: Task Structure, Not Agent Count, Determines Architecture Value

Google's research on 260 multi-agent configurations across six benchmarks shows centralized architectures improve parallel tasks by 81% but hurt sequential planning by 39-70%. Teamwork framework adds critique-synthesis loops that retain failed branches. The key insight: agent count isn't an architecture metric—task decomposability, verifiable sub-results, and coordination costs should drive design.

Why Business Agents Can’t Rely Solely on LLMs: Implementing Intent Recognition and Task Decomposition

The article explains that a production‑grade business agent must combine LLM‑driven intent understanding with deterministic rule‑based control, using a perception‑understanding‑planning‑execution‑feedback loop, two‑round prompting, strict JSON schemas, permission checks, and a state‑machine architecture to avoid unsafe, uncontrolled behavior.
