# Agent best practices

> Apply practical guidance for designing, testing, and maintaining custom agents.

The best custom agents are specific, scoped, and easy to evaluate.

## Recommended practices

* build one agent for one repeatable job
* keep instructions short and explicit
* limit context to approved sources
* give the agent a clear owner
* review outputs before you scale usage

## Design for trust

People adopt agents faster when the boundaries are obvious. Be clear about what the agent knows, what it can do, and when a human should still make the final call.
