Covers agentic frameworks, design patterns, tool use, RAG, trustworthiness, planning, multi-agent systems, metacognition, production deployment, protocols, context engineering, agent memory, Microsoft Agent Framework, and browser automation. Features extensive multilingual support (50+ languages) and hands-on code samples.\n\n## Assessment\nVERY HIGH VALUE. This is Microsoft's authoritative curriculum for AI agent development with systematic progression from basic concepts to advanced production patterns. The agentic design principles encode human-centric UX guidelines for agent development. The course covers critical patterns like multi-agent coordination, trustworthy AI, context engineering, and memory systems that are directly applicable to babysitter's agent architecture. The production deployment and planning sections contain systematic approaches to agent lifecycle management.\n\n## Extraction Priority\nVERY HIGH - Contains authoritative AI agent methodologies that are directly transferable:\n- Agentic design principles and patterns -> methodologies/agentic-design/\n- Multi-agent coordination patterns -> specializations/shared/\n- Agent trustworthiness and safety procedures -> specializations/shared/\n- Agent memory and context engineering -> specializations/shared/\n\n## Processes\n- **agentic-design-methodology**: Systematic approach to designing human-centric AI agents with UX principles\n  -

What install.md would do: Install coordination frameworks, set up communication protocols, configure agent discovery, create orchestration templates\n  - Processes it would copy: multi-agent-coordination, agent-memory-management\n  - Configs/hooks it would create: Coordination configs, communication protocols, discovery services, orchestration dashboards\n  - Source evidence: Dedicated multi-agent lesson with coordination patterns and Microsoft Agent Framework integration\n\n## Implicit Procedural Knowledge\n- **Agent Development Lifecycle**: Complete process for developing AI agents from concept to production deployment\n  - Source: Progressive course structure from intro through production deployment lessons\n  - Placement: methodologies/agentic-design/\n  - Why codify: Provides systematic approach to agent development that's reusable across different agent types and use cases\n  - Sketch: Requirements analysis -> Design principles application -> Framework selection -> Tool integration -> Trustworthiness validation -> Multi-agent coordination -> Production deployment -> Monitoring and optimization\n\n- **Human-Centric Agent Design**: Process for ensuring AI agents effectively augment human capabilities rather than replace them\n  - Source: Agentic design principles lesson focused on human-centric UX\n  - Placement: methodologies/agentic-design/\n  - Why codify: Critical methodology for responsible agent development that prioritizes human empowerment\n  - Sketch: User need analysis -> Capability gap identification -> Human-AI collaboration design -> UX principle application -> User feedback integration -> Iterative refinement\n\n## Library Mapping\n\n| Extractable Process | Library Status | Action | Existing Path | Target Placement |\n|-------------------|----------------|--------|---------------|------------------|\n| Agentic Design Methodology | NEW | Human-centric AI agent design with UX principles | -
