Literacy perspective
How workflows, handoffs, roles, state, tools, memory, permissions, and orchestration create control.
What lecturers should notice
Trace intermediate artefacts, state transitions, capabilities, validation, stop conditions, and human approval points.

Participants learn that a clear request can still produce weak work when execution is treated as one opaque generation step. They learn to design phases, roles, handoffs, intermediate artefacts, and checkpoints that make complex work inspectable and steerable.
Participants learn to move beyond a sequence of chat turns and design a controllable agentic system with explicit state, capabilities, routing, validation, permissions, stop conditions, and human approval. They learn when orchestration improves reliability and when it only adds complexity.
This Friday makes security concrete as a control problem. Participants experience how LLM systems can confuse untrusted content with trusted instruction, and how workflow design, source governance, permissions, and human checkpoints affect controllability.
