Agent primitives classification in AWS Quick
AWS Quick breaks down agent work into four primitives: 'When', 'What', 'Who', 'How', triggering tasks, agents execute and use capabilities (tools, skills, workflows) to complete work. Triggers are of four types: human-initiated, agent-delegated, scheduled, and event-driven; agents are persistent learners, including instructions, dynamically updated capabilities, and accumulated contextual memory; capabilities range from fully autonomous to fully deterministic, tools are atomic operations, skills provide structured guidance, and workflows are deterministic coordination.
