Where Claude-built agent savings actually come from for startups — token math, verifiable delegation, model tiering, and an ROI formula that survives a board meeting.
A safe rollout playbook for moving an existing workflow onto a Claude agent: shadow mode, human-in-the-loop, staged autonomy, and instant rollback.
Build an eval loop for Claude agents: real test sets, LLM-as-judge scoring, tool-call assertions, and CI gates that block regressions before release.
Harden Claude agents for production: sandbox tools, enforce least privilege, keep secrets out of prompts, and defend against prompt injection.
Keep Claude agents cheap and fast: prompt caching, the Batch API, model routing across Opus/Sonnet/Haiku, and context discipline that cut token spend.
Why Claude agents loop, pick the wrong tool, or hallucinate arguments — and the exact trajectory-debugging steps startups use to fix each failure mode.
Prompt and context design for Claude agents: what to include, what to leave out, compaction, and tuning context with evals to keep agents sharp.
Wire tools and MCP servers into Claude agents the right way: scoped auth, tight schemas, structured error handling, and idempotency for production traffic.
Reusable code-level patterns for Claude agents: layered system prompts, verb-noun tool design, just-in-time context, and the anti-patterns to refuse.
