AI agents can operate reliably using a three component system that includes a model, tools and instructions[3]. The most successful agent implementations use simple composable patterns rather than complex frameworks or specialized libraries[1]. When prompts contain too many conditional statements, dividing each logical segment across separate agents should be considered to maintain the clarity[3].

Also, for Chain of Thought prompting, put the answer after the reasoning because the reasoning's generation changes the tokens that the model gets when it predicts the final answer[2]. With Chain of Thought and self-consistency you need to be able to extract the final answer from your prompt, separated from the reasoning[2].
