To choose a multi-agent design pattern, match your agent types to a decision-tree framework that evaluates single-task coordination, routing, planning, and orchestration scenarios. This reduces guesswork by applying consistent selection criteria to determine the best architecture.

ReAct, Router, and Planning are distinct agentic design patterns for different workflow needs. The decision-tree framework maps these patterns to specific roles like specialists and orchestrators, explaining the rationale and criteria for when to apply each architecture.

You need hierarchical orchestration when multi-agent coordination requires structured top-down task delegation, whereas parallel orchestration handles independent concurrent execution. The decision-tree framework evaluates your workflow scenario to recommend the correct pattern.

Yes, the decision-tree framework supports single-task agent scenarios alongside multi-agent coordination. It maps your specific task scenario and desired outcome to the most suitable design pattern, providing clear mappings to roles like specialists and reviewers.

The best way to architect multi-agent coordination is applying a decision-tree framework that evaluates your workflow requirements against seven design patterns. This provides real-world examples and rationale to guide consistent architecture decisions across projects.
