## AI overview

The article introduces Agent SOPs, a standardized Markdown format for defining AI-agent workflows in natural language. It presents them as a middle ground between code-defined workflows and model-driven orchestration, intended to make agent behavior more reusable and steerable.

## Source excerpt

Modern AI can write code, compose symphonies, and solve complex reasoning problems. So why is it still so hard to get them to reliably do what you want? Building reliable AI agents that consistently perform complex tasks remains challenging. While modern language models excel at reasoning and problem-solving, translating that capability into predictable workflows often [...]
