## Agent Components

| Component   | Description                | Example                  |
| ----------- | -------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| Agent       | The AI assistant container | Service Agent, SDR Agent |
| Topic       | Conversation category      | Order Status, Returns    |
| Action      | Executable capability      | Apex method, Flow        |
| Instruction | Behavioral guideline       | "Always verify identity" |
| Scope       | Topic boundaries           | What's in/out of scope   |

## Action Types

| Type            | Icon | Use Case                        |
| --------------- | ---- | ------------------------------- |
| Apex Invocable  | ⚡   | Complex logic, callouts         |
| Flow            | 🔄   | Record creation, updates        |
| Standard        | 📚   | Knowledge search, case creation |
| Prompt Template | 💬   | Dynamic response generation     |

## Conversation Flow Patterns

### 1. Linear Flow

```
Start → Topic → Action → Response → End
```

### 2. Branching Flow

```
Start → Classify → [Topic A | Topic B | Escalate]
```

### 3. Loop Back

```
Start → Topic → Action → Validate → [Success | Retry]
```

## Best Practices

1. **Clear topic boundaries** - Don't overlap scope
2. **Minimal actions per topic** - 3-5 max
3. **Always have escalation path** - Human handoff
4. **Use knowledge base first** - Before custom actions
5. **Verify before acting** - Confirm understanding

## Customization Points

- Replace example topics with actual use cases
- Add specific action inputs/outputs
- Include actual integration endpoints
- Show conversation sample flows
