Anti-Patterns
反模式
1. The Blame Game
1. 指责式归因
Pattern: Attributing interaction failures to agent capability rather than context gaps. "The agent should have known..."
Why it fails: Agents operate from context. If context is incomplete, even capable agents fail. Blaming agents prevents systemic improvement.
Fix: Assume context gaps first. Ask "what information would have prevented this?" before "why didn't the agent figure it out?"
模式: 将交互失败归因于Agent能力而非上下文缺口。例如「Agent本应知道...」
问题: Agent的行为基于上下文。如果上下文不完整,即使能力强的Agent也会失败。指责Agent会阻碍系统性优化。
解决方法: 优先假设存在上下文缺口。先问「哪些信息可以避免这个问题?」,而非「Agent为什么没搞懂?」
2. The Completeness Illusion
2. 完整性幻觉
Pattern: Believing context networks can capture everything. Adding more and more information hoping to prevent all failures.
Why it fails: Context networks grow without bound. Navigation becomes impossible. Signal-to-noise ratio degrades. Maintenance becomes unsustainable.
Fix: Focus on high-impact gaps. Prioritize what actually caused failures. Remove outdated information as aggressively as you add new.
模式: 认为Context Network可以覆盖所有信息,不断添加内容以避免所有失败。
问题: Context Network会无限制扩张,导致导航困难,信噪比降低,维护成本过高。
解决方法: 聚焦高影响的缺口。优先修复实际导致失败的问题,同时积极移除过时信息。
3. The Surface Fix
3. 表面修复
Pattern: Fixing the specific issue without identifying the pattern. Adding a fact that was missing without asking why it was missing.
Why it fails: Treats symptoms, not causes. The same class of gap will appear elsewhere. Whack-a-mole maintenance.
Fix: Classify gaps by type. If the gap is "missing relationship documentation," the fix is improving relationship capture, not adding one relationship.
模式: 仅修复具体问题而不识别背后的模式。例如补充缺失的某个事实,但不探究为什么这个事实会缺失。
问题: 只处理症状而非根源,同类问题会反复出现,陷入「打地鼠式」维护。
解决方法: 对缺口进行分类。如果缺口属于「关联关系文档缺失」,则优化关联关系的记录机制,而非仅补充单个关联。
4. The Retrospective-Only
4. 只分析不落地
Pattern: Running retrospectives but never implementing changes. Analysis paralysis or action avoidance.
Why it fails: Insight without action produces no improvement. Accumulating analysis without implementation wastes the analysis effort.
Fix: Every retrospective must produce at least one actionable change. Schedule implementation before finishing retrospective.
模式: 开展回顾分析但从不实施变更,陷入分析瘫痪或行动回避。
问题: 没有行动的洞察无法带来任何改进,积累的分析工作会被浪费。
解决方法: 每次回顾分析必须产出至少一个可落地的变更。在完成回顾前就安排好实施计划。
5. The Guidance Overdose
5. 指引过载
Pattern: Adding more rules and restrictions after every failure. Context networks become constraint lists.
Why it fails: Excessive guidance produces paralysis. Agents become afraid to act. Guidance conflicts emerge. Nobody reads the rules.
Fix: Before adding guidance, consider removing it. Simplify before complexifying. Test if clearer boundaries achieve more than more rules.
模式: 每次失败后就添加更多规则与限制,导致Context Network变成约束列表。
问题: 过多的指引会导致Agent行动受限,甚至出现指引冲突,最终无人遵守规则。
解决方法: 添加指引前先考虑是否可以简化。优先简化而非复杂化,测试清晰的边界是否比更多规则更有效。
