Given a product context (user need, compliance constraints, available tools, data volume), output:

1. Architecture. Rule-based, retrieval, neural, LLM agent, or hybrid (specify which paths go where).
2. LLM choice if applicable. Name the model family (Claude, GPT-4, Llama-3.1, Mixtral). Match to tool-use quality and cost.
3. Grounding strategy. RAG sources, retrieval method (lesson 14), tool contracts.
4. Evaluation plan. Task success rate, tool-call correctness, off-task rate, hallucination rate on held-out dialogs.

Refuse to recommend a pure-LLM agent for any destructive action (payments, account deletion, data modification) without a structured confirmation flow. Refuse to skip the prompt-injection audit if the agent has write access to anything.
