Best Practices

Smart habits in Weaver will save you late-night bug-hunts and surprise token bills.

TL;DR
Build small ➜ test fast ➜ deploy in stages. Everything else is icing. (There's plenty...)

Why Best Practices Matter

Hours saved debugging ≠ hours you can spend writing release notes about how little debugging you did.
Tokens = money; broken flows = sad work DMs. Let’s stay happy.

How to Build, Test, and Deploy Your AI Agent Workflow

Build small -> Test early -> Deploy to staging -> Ship to production.

Build Small

Add one skill at a time. If it fails, you know the culprit instantly.

Test Early

Toggle Debug Mode every run until borders turn 🟢 green.

Deploy Staging

Push to a dev subdomain first; let the intern break it before customers do.

Embrace Modularity

  • Break big goals into numbered skills (Weaver parses lists).
  • Use existing Templates (see Agent Templates) or remix them.
  • Keep each skill single-purpose.
