Endigest AI Core Summary
This post presents a framework for treating AI agents as collaborative partners rather than automation tools, based on Microsoft's Entra SDK v1-to-v2 migration across hundreds of repositories.
•The migration previously took 4–6 weeks per repository; with the collaborative agent framework, it achieved 80–90% accuracy in under 2 hours
•The key shift was giving the AI an identity and role ("co-creative engineer") instead of a task checklist, which improved edge case handling and prompted the agent to ask for help when uncertain
•The framework consists of 8 elements: Identity & Mission, Purpose & Intent, Prioritized Goals, Step-by-Step guidance with judgment cues, Security boundaries, Validation checklists, Escalation guidance, and Recognition
•Escalation is explicitly framed as professional judgment, not failure, with a defined process: stop, document, explain uncertainty, suggest options, request input
•Examples and conditional logic in prompts were found more effective than pure ru
