⚑️ In an effort to augment existing @OTR_Community projects with AI, @Cyb3rPandaH and I are extending the @HunterPlaybook using Agent Skills πŸ€– to describe known workflows and leverage progressive disclosure, so agents access the right knowledge at the right time. 🏹 The hunt lifecycle (plan ➑️ execute ➑️ report) needs structure, and we recently took some time to show how the planning stage can be expressed as Agent Skills using @code and GitHub Copilot, together with @tavilyai and @Microsoft Sentinel Data Lake MCP Servers πŸ”₯. Blog post link in the comments.

πŸ™ That moment when you realize that what started as a weekend curiosity to learn more about agentic systems πŸ€– has become a project others find useful and in innovative ❀️ Thank you @diagridio and @bibryam for sharing! @daprdev Agents!
24 Apr 2025
πŸš€ New on the Diagrid Blog: Building Effective Dapr Agents @bibryam unpacks the spectrum of agentic behavior and how to design intelligent, production-grade agents using Dapr Agents. He shares 8 practical patternsβ€”from simple prompt chains to fully autonomous agentsβ€”using real-world examples and production-ready code. Learn why predictable workflows often outperform fully autonomous agents in enterprise settingsβ€”and how Dapr helps you strike the perfect balance. buff.ly/WUbAI18 #Dapr #AgenticAI #PlatformEngineering #LLM #Microservices #Diagrid

❀️ Happy to share my journey in creating an AI Agentic Workflow Engine with @daprdev for developer-friendly, code-first workflows, agent orchestration, state management, and communication. blog.openthreatresearch.com/… ⚑️ Building my own AI Agentic framework was an incredibly rewarding experience, leading to the creation of project Floki πŸ‘β€πŸ—¨! πŸŽ‰ I’m also very excited to announce that I’ve decided to donate the Floki codebase to the @daprdev project and am partnering with the Dapr community to evolve it further. Today, Dapr also launched "Dapr Agents" πŸ€– the evolution of Floki, and I’m very proud to see it join the Dapr community ❀️! #opensource #AI #Dapr @OTR_Community
