agents

Threads are your company memory. (In Amp) "Why did we do this?" The more team uses Amp the more knowledge multiplies. Threads are connected to git commits. Game changer. Avoids duplicate work.
Automation/schedules/wake-up/heartbeat are killer feature. Didn't realize it, but missed it dearly once it was off. Use it all the time. "Check the logs in 2hrs." "Let me know once this is live" "Check every day at 9am".
Don't iterate with the agent. Let it build tools to iterate. Not "let's try this. ... ah no, let's try that." Instead: "Generate 20 variations and a little page that lets me combine and test them." Not only applies to solution space, but also problem space: "Give me 4 theories on why this is slow, then check all four."
Ask for irrefutable proof. Biggest game changer. Agents are really good at producing proof: end-to-end walkthroughs, demo videos, before/after numbers. You have to build up trust and an instinct for this. Put "this is not evidence" in your AGENTS.md.

Power Prompts

restate in your own words what you think my goals are and what the problem i'm trying to solve is
Is that the best you can do?
are you proud of this?
Give me irrefutable proof this works now
- evidence
How can we pokayoke this error type so it never is introduced again
take a hollistic step back and review what we've done and think if you can think of alpha we're missing. breadth over depth now
