# Evolving Agentic Engineering at Prisma

**[Prisma Blog](https://daily.dev/sources/prisma-blog)** · 13 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Prisma's engineering team reflects on their evolving approach to agentic software development. They started with a heavily opinionated 'Drive' process — structured skills, multi-agent workflows, and explicit artifacts — which proved agents could ship large-scale changes with high quality. Over time, the verbose process became a maintenance burden as models improved, making baked-in assumptions obsolete. The team is now moving toward leaner skills that define contracts (inputs/outputs) rather than narrating processes, using frontier models for planning and cheaper models for execution. Key durable principles include clear specs, explicit plans, testable acceptance criteria, review loops, and human judgment ownership — while keeping the workflow itself adaptable as tooling evolves.
