Advanced Topics¶

Once you've mastered the fundamentals, these advanced topics unlock Amplifier's full power. From multi-agent orchestration to custom kernel modules, this section covers expert-level capabilities. Dive deep into sophisticated patterns for building production-grade AI applications.

Section Contents¶

Quick Tips¶

• Recipes for repeatability - Codify multi-step workflows as recipes
• Agent specialization - Create focused agents rather than general-purpose
• Module contracts - Follow kernel protocols for reliable extensions
• Session hygiene - Clean up and repair sessions proactively
• Monitor everything - Observability is essential at scale
