Best Practices

1. Check Availability First

Before invoking an agent, check their availability to ensure timely completion:

const availability = await $.Agent.availability('amy', { duration: 120 })

if (availability.available) {
  const task = await $.Agent.invoke({ agentId: 'amy', task: '...' })
}

2. Provide Clear Context

Include relevant data and context for better results:

const task = await $.Agent.invoke({
  agentId: 'amy',
  task: 'Analyze Q4 revenue trends',
  context: {
    dataSource: 'revenue_q4_2024.csv',
    focusAreas: ['growth', 'churn', 'expansion'],
    comparisonPeriod: 'Q4 2023',
    targetAudience: 'executive team',
  },
})

3. Set Realistic Deadlines

Allow sufficient time for quality work:

// Good: 2-day deadline for comprehensive analysis
const task = await $.Agent.invoke({
  agentId: 'amy',
  task: 'Market research report',
  deadline: new Date(Date.now() + 2 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString(),
})

// Bad: 1-hour deadline for complex work
// This may result in rushed or incomplete deliverables

4. Match Agent to Task

Choose agents based on their specialties:

// Good: Amy for data analysis
await $.Agent.invoke({ agentId: 'amy', task: 'Analyze sales data' })

// Good: Tom for development
await $.Agent.invoke({ agentId: 'tom', task: 'Build REST API' })

// Bad: Tom for market research (not his specialty)
