Multi-Agent Patterns

A design guide your agent can use when you're building a system with several agents. It covers supervisor and swarm setups, explicit handoffs, running agents in parallel, and the first question: is a multi-agent setup worth the overhead at all?

The main point is that sub-agents are mostly a way to keep context separate, not a way to give agents job titles. Good to read before you build a ten-agent setup that could have been one loop.
