Explore with Agents, Then Script the Stable Parts

Vivek Haldar discusses a highly practical workflow:
- Start by using flexible, high-level agent expressions to define intent and quickly get the process running.
- Once the workflow is used repeatedly and its boundaries and stable structure become clear, sink the stable parts into more efficient Python scripts.
This approach emphasizes avoiding premature hard-coding: let agents handle exploration and trial-and-error first, then engineer the mature components.
