Agent Initialization

Domain: Agent Fundamentals

🎯 Motivation

Setting up the agent before it starts: loading system prompt, registering tools, initializing memory, setting guardrails.

πŸ“‹ Concrete Example

Init steps: load system prompt (β€˜You are a coding assistant’), register tools (read_file, write_file, run_code), load memory from database, set guardrails (max 50 steps, $10 budget).

πŸ”— Analogy

Briefing a new employee on day 1 - give them their role (system prompt), access cards (tools), previous project notes (memory), and company rules (guardrails). Then they start working.
