AWS Proposes an Agent Primitives Taxonomy Framework
Understand the story
On November 7, 2026, the AWS Machine Learning Blog published an article by the Amazon Quick team. The team breaks agent work down into four questions—When, What, Who, and How—and on that basis summarizes a shared primitives taxonomy: triggers fall into four categories—human-initiated, agent-delegated, scheduled, and event-driven; agents are defined as persistent, learnable actors; and capabilities include tools, skills, and workflows. The framework currently appears on the official AWS blog, with no other follow-up coverage.
