Prompts
A daily prompt archive on governed agentic DevSecOps — the prompt itself, why it's built that way, and what to do with the answer. Adapted from Andrew Clark's Enterprise Agentic DevSecOps Handbook: ten recurring control disciplines, a tour of fourteen platform domains, then six days building the capstone project behind the challenge.
Days 1–10 · The ten control disciplines
Day 1: Find where reasoning and authority are collapsedDay 2: Write (or fix) your CLAUDE.md contractDay 3: Protect the workflows the agent shouldn't be allowed to touchDay 4: Audit what credentials the agent actually inheritsDay 5: Replace one broad tool with a narrow oneDay 6: List your independent validation gatesDay 7: Design the approval screen for a real changeDay 8: Reconstruct one execution path end to endDay 9: Design the rollback you don't have yetDay 10: Score this workflow against the production checklist
Days 11–24 · The fourteen domains
Day 11: Draw your own three-concern splitDay 12: Frame the rollout as capability uplift, not replacementDay 13: Make your repository legible to an agentDay 14: Separate model access from tool authorityDay 15: Map your stack onto AgentCore's modular servicesDay 16: Check whether your MCP tools still need authorizationDay 17: Confirm CI/CD, not the agent, gates promotionDay 18: Scale autonomy to consequence, explicitlyDay 19: Connect a request to its full traceDay 20: Put a number on whether the agent is actually helpingDay 21: Check your region's actual authorization boundaryDay 22: Write the runbook for your riskiest agent workflowDay 23: Set your own baseline before you expandDay 24: Build your own service-to-control map
Days 25–30 · Build the capstone project
Day 25: Build the foundation, before the agent gets write accessDay 26: Let the agent look, before it can touch anythingDay 27: Let the agent make one small, reviewable changeDay 28: Make sure the agent can't pass its own buildDay 29: Add the human decision, and the rollback that has to workDay 30: Reconstruct the whole run from one correlation ID
