Goal Seeking Agent Pattern

This teaches you when autonomous agents make sense versus when they're overkill. It walks through five practical questions to decide if your problem needs goal-seeking behavior: Is the path flexible? Multiple phases? Need autonomous recovery? Context-dependent? The examples are solid, pulling from real patterns like AKS SRE automation and CI diagnostics where the agent figures out what to try next instead of following a script. Honestly, the decision framework is the most useful part here. It stops you from building a complex agent system when a bash script would work fine, and recognizes when you actually need something that can adapt and recover on its own.
