Agentic Development · Architecture
An architecture where multiple specialized agents collaborate on a task, each handling a different sub-problem, with some orchestrating mechanism routing work between them.
Example: A research pipeline where a Planner agent breaks down a question, a Search agent gathers sources, a Writer agent drafts the report, and a Critic agent reviews it.
In practice: Multi-agent systems can handle complex tasks that exceed a single agent's capabilities, but they introduce coordination overhead, failure modes at handoff points, and harder debugging.
