The most underrated section of any RFC is 'out of scope'. For AI agents, it's the difference between a useful result and three hours of rework.
Every section of an RFC has an exact mirror in the world of prompts. Once you see the mapping, writing prompts becomes second nature.
Every RFC that works has six essential pieces. If you know how to assemble them for humans, you already know how to assemble them for AI agents.
The same discipline that makes an RFC work for human engineers is what makes a prompt work for AI agents. Most developers already have this skill - they just haven't realized it yet.
