Anthropic engineer says agents should prompt themselves, not just Claude
blaizedsouza · x · 2026-07-29
A repost of an Anthropic engineer talk on building agents that remember, learn from mistakes, and progressively improve themselves.
- The core point is that you should not just “prompt Claude,” but design a system that prompts itself.
- The session reportedly walks through Anthropic’s agent-building approach in about 45 minutes.
- The post frames it as more valuable than a paid course for people learning to build agents.
