Prompthon Agentic Lab Structure
This document holds the internal structure and reference notes that support Prompthon Agentic Lab. It is intentionally separate from the top-level README so the front door can stay lightweight.Current status
- The top-level lab lanes are now scaffolded in the repository.
- Imported reference material remains available under
references/. - Audience guides and contributor templates are in place for future content work.
- The first public lab article wave is drafted.
- Public contributor guidance now covers articles, radar notes, source projects, and curated reference notes.
What this lab covers
- Agent system fundamentals and terminology
- Reusable agent patterns and workflow mechanisms
- Systems concerns such as context, protocols, evaluation, and reliability
- Ecosystem comparisons across global and Chinese agent tooling
- Story-led case studies for major agent product categories
- Fast-moving radar and publication extensions

Editorial direction
- Path-first, not chapter-first
- Story-led pages that move from problem to architecture to tradeoffs
- Topic-first ecosystem coverage with explicit global and Chinese lanes
- Repo-native content outside
references/, with source-aware adaptation
Reference base and reuse boundary
The current reference base includes the upstreamHello-Agents materials under
references/hello-agents-main/.
That material is being used here as source input for curation and planning, not
as the final published structure of this repository. The strategy document that
guided this first-pass scaffold lives at
references/global-agent-repository-strategy.md.
If content is later adapted from upstream material, attribution and license
constraints should be reviewed before publication.
