Reactive Behavior
Domain: Agent Fundamentals
🎯 Motivation
The agent responds to events - a new message, a file change, an error - in real-time. Reactive agents are event-driven.
📋 Concrete Example
A file watcher: when a file changes, the agent automatically re-runs tests. When a new email arrives, it auto-summarizes. It reacts to events rather than waiting for instructions.
🔗 Analogy
A motion-sensor light - it turns on when it detects movement (reactive). It does not wait for someone to flip the switch. Reactive agents respond to events automatically.
