`12-factor-agents`: production patterns for reliable LLM apps

A practical checklist for turning LLM steps into maintainable software. Strong fit when an agent feature needs shipping discipline, not another framework.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Core stance: good agents are mostly deterministic software with LLM calls placed where they add leverage.
  2. Own prompts, context windows, control flow, and execution state. Treat frameworks as optional, not the architecture.
  3. Tools become structured outputs, and errors get compacted back into context. This maps well to production debugging.
  4. Small focused agents plus pause/resume APIs reduce blast radius. Useful for SaaS workflows with human approval steps.
