Check: how agents work | ComputeSphere Learn

Goal: Confirm you can explain the agent loop, judge an agent's claim of success, and pick tasks it handles well.

Four questions on this module. Every answer explains itself, right or wrong.

An agent changes a file, runs the tests, sees one fail, and edits again. Which part of the loop sent it back?EditObserveRun

Why does an agent's wrong answer often look as convincing as a right one?It writes what looks likely, and likely isn't always correctIt's designed to hide its mistakesIt only goes wrong when it can't see the files

Two hours into a session, the agent starts ignoring a naming rule you gave it at the start. What's the likely cause?The rule was wrongThe session is long, and early instructions have fadedThe agent needs a break

An agent suggests installing a package whose name looks right, but you can't find its documentation. What do you do?Install it and see if the code worksDon't install it until you've checked the registry yourselfAsk the agent whether the package is real

Retry as often as you like.
