Coordination Patterns

Multi-agent coordination patterns include Planner→Executor→Verifier, Blackboard, Orchestrator-Worker, Hierarchical, Event-Driven, and Market-Based architectures. This resource provides practical selection guidance to apply these patterns across diverse project domains and scales.

Design a multi-agent coordination architecture by selecting a pattern like Orchestrator-Worker or Event-Driven, defining clear agent roles, establishing event-driven communication, and implementing unified state management. Use the provided templates to generate a concise coordination design for your project.

Choose hierarchical coordination for top-down task delegation, and market-based patterns for decentralized resource allocation. Selecting between them depends on your requirements for safety-conscious governance, controlled flow, and unified state management.

Yes, the coordination patterns emphasize safe, scalable design principles. They incorporate 12 Factor Agents guidance, unified state management, event-driven communication, and safety-conscious governance to ensure robust multi-agent system architecture.

Event-driven coordination can introduce complexity in tracking state across agents, requiring robust unified state management. While it enables asynchronous communication, pattern selection guidance helps evaluate if this approach suits your specific scale and governance needs.
