Agents & Workflows

Agents and Workflows
Review
high-signal topic

A document pipeline always performs the same three steps: extract fields, validate them against a schema, and write an approved record. Which design is the best default?

Correct answer
D. A deterministic workflow that calls Claude only for the extraction step and uses code for validation and writing

The sequence and control logic are known, so deterministic orchestration is simpler and safer. Claude can handle the ambiguous extraction while code enforces schema and write rules.

#2 most missed

Messages API & Conversation

Applications and Integration
Review
high-signal topic

A developer expects the Messages API to remember a user's previous request, but the second call has no context. What is the correct fix?

Correct answer
C. Send the relevant prior user and assistant turns again in the messages array

Messages API calls are stateless with respect to conversation history. The application owns state and must include the relevant prior turns in each request.

#3 most missed

Claude Code & Instructions

Claude Code
Review
high-signal topic

A repository has build commands and coding conventions that every Claude Code session should follow. Where should the team place them?

Correct answer
B. In a concise repository CLAUDE.md committed with the project

A repository CLAUDE.md provides versioned, shared project instructions. It should stay concise and point to deeper documentation where needed.
