Multi-agent collaboration
Multi-agent collaboration splits work across several agents when one role should not own the entire process.
| Pattern | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Hierarchical pattern | One coordinating agent should assign work to specialists. |
| Agent-to-agent calls | One agent needs to call another directly. |
Start simple
Use one agent unless a clear handoff or review step improves the result. Multi-agent setups add coordination cost, so document ownership and expected outputs.
