Question 1
A team is building a customer-support agent. They want the simplest reliable architecture and only plan to add complexity if needed. According to Anthropic's guidance on building effective agents, what should they start with?
Correct Answer:
The simplest solution possible, such as a single LLM call with retrieval and in-context examples, adding agentic steps only when simpler approaches fall short
Question 2
An architect needs to classify incoming requests and send each to a specialized prompt: billing questions to one prompt, technical issues to another, and general questions to a third. Which workflow pattern best fits this requirement?
Correct Answer:
Routing
Question 3
A coding task requires generating a draft, then critiquing it against quality criteria, then refining it, repeating until the critique passes. Which pattern describes this, and what is the key design principle?
Correct Answer:
Evaluator-optimizer, separating generation and evaluation into distinct LLM calls with an adversarial evaluator stance
Question 4
A research agent must handle tasks where the number and nature of subtasks cannot be predicted in advance: a central model must dynamically break the work down, delegate pieces, and synthesize the results. Which pattern is the best fit?
Correct Answer:
Orchestrator-worker
Question 5
An architect wants to distinguish a 'workflow' from an 'agent' in Anthropic's terminology. Which statement is correct?
Correct Answer:
Workflows orchestrate LLMs and tools through predefined code paths; agents dynamically direct their own processes and tool usage
