Round 2

Planning — Can agents decompose complex tasks?

Skeptic: Agents can decompose simple tasks but systematically fail when decomposition req… Advocate: Hierarchical task decomposition is solvable with the right framework — treat pla…

Round 3

Generation — Code quality, context limits, hallucinations

Skeptic: Agent-generated code is technically correct in isolation and semantically wrong … Advocate: The hallucination and context problems are solvable engineering problems — conte…

Round 4

Verification — Testing, correctness, human oversight

Skeptic: Agents can generate tests but cannot verify correctness — test quality is bounde… Advocate: Verification is a solvable problem through formal methods lite — use property-ba…

Round 5

Orchestration — Multi-agent systems, handoffs, error recovery

Skeptic: Multi-agent orchestration adds exponential complexity — the coordination overhea… Advocate: The right multi-agent architecture isn't a pipeline, it's a supervisor pattern —…
