As someone relatively new to agentic programming, I found this post from Peter Steinberger (of OpenClaw fame) to be very useful on how to talk to the agents effectively

Don’t waste your time on stuff like RAG, subagents, Agents 2.0 or other things that are mostly just charade. Just talk to it. Play with it. Develop intuition. The more you work with agents, the better your results will be.
