Why your AI agent keep failing to execute task...
— Part 1
I spent days fighting one messy prompt.
The agent would start strong, then go sideways.
It skipped steps.
It invented answers.
Sometimes it just stopped halfway.
I thought the model was the problem but It wasn’t.
It was because the prompt was trying to do five jobs at once.
Most of us write prompts like this:
“Build a full feature, handle errors, format the output, check edge cases, and make it production-ready.” 😂😂😂
That’s too much.
The model will start to guessing which part matters most and that’s when things starts to break.
I learned the hard way: one giant instruction almost always fails and will mostly not meet your expectations.
In Part 2, I’ll show the exact process I now use to split the work into small jobs that actually finish.
Have you also had a prompt that looked perfect on paper but kept breaking in real use?
