Practice Questions
A day of running six agents, compressed into ten judgment calls — rotation jams, failed one-shots, suspicious diffs, and bold claims.
How to Practice Effectively
Every scenario here is a moment where throughput and safety pull in opposite directions. Before checking, name which doctrine principle applies — and what you would be trading away by ignoring it.
Pro Tip
The best calibration exercise: after each question, recall the last time you faced the same moment with a real agent and what you actually did. The board exists to close that gap.
Review by Module
If you want to focus on specific areas, revisit the individual module quizzes:
Parallel Agents Quiz
5 scenarios on rotation and conflict-free parallelism
Chunking Policy Quiz
5 scenarios on one-shots and vertical slices
CLAUDE.md & Session Notes Quiz
5 scenarios on context that compounds
Reviewing AI Code Quiz
5 scenarios on smells, verification, and depth
Research Corner Quiz
5 scenarios on reading the evidence honestly
Comprehensive Practice Quiz
Ten scenarios spanning every module — because a real agentic-coding day never announces which chapter it is testing.
Note
Several questions offer a tempting throughput-maximizing option. Check what it costs before you take it — that is the whole game.
What's Next?
Put one thing into practice tomorrow: run two agents instead of one, write the CLAUDE.md line for the last correction you repeated, or have your next session end with an agent-written note. The 6x builds one habit at a time.
Agentic Theory covers building agentic systems for clients — the same doctrine pointed outward — and the CTO board's planning method is what your one-shot plans scale up into.
