Recap and next steps

Recap and next steps

Keep the evidence, tests, timestamps, and boundaries that make agent-assisted pipeline work safe.

Trust comes from evidence

You classified operations by what happens if they are wrong, turned an audit checklist into checks, wrote tests before accepting changes, separated when data happened from when it arrived, ran in dev first, and put controls where they can actually work. Those practices make an agent's work reviewable.

Keep the workflow: ask the agent to state the plan and show SQL, run in dev, inspect evidence, and review the diff before any shared write. Use local cron, server cron, GitHub Actions, or Bruin Cloud according to the operational need. Cloud is one peer option, not a requirement.

Your task

Write docs/recap.md with six bullets: classify operation risk, automate the audit, test first, separate timestamps, use dev, and enforce controls at the right layer. Add one paragraph describing the next operational step you will take.

Check your understanding

  • What is the academy's thesis in one sentence?
  • Which timestamp finds newly learned facts?
  • What should happen before a production write?

Do it with your agent

Say next lesson, write the recap and next step, then say review my work.

Rubric

  • Contains all 6 required practice bullets.
  • States that trust is reduced by enforceable evidence, not by a more confident agent.
  • Names one concrete next step and one safety check before taking it.
