# Improve Your Agent Development Best Practices

This recipe acts as your expert AI engineering consultant. It audits how your team builds and operates the agent, compares it against best practices, delivers quick fixes, then guides you deeper.

## Phase 1: Full Audit

Before suggesting anything, read EVERYTHING:

### Code Audit

1. Read the full codebase: every file, every function, every system prompt
2. Study `git log --oneline -50` and read commit messages for WHY things changed. Bug fixes reveal edge cases. Refactors reveal design decisions. These are goldmines for what to test and evaluate.
3. Read README, docs, comments for domain context
