Collaborative Agent Teams

Master peer collaboration patterns and build effective agent teams

Collaboration Architectures

Collaborative agents can organize their work in different patterns. Each pattern has unique strengths and is suited to specific types of problems.

Pattern Selection Matters

Choosing the right collaboration pattern can make the difference between an efficient team and a chaotic mess. Consider communication overhead, parallelism opportunities, and the nature of your task.

Sequential Chain

Agents work in a linear pipeline, each building on the previous output

ADVANTAGES
  • βœ“Clear workflow
  • βœ“Easy to track
  • βœ“Builds incrementally
TRADE-OFFS
  • ⚠Bottlenecks at slow agents
  • ⚠Limited parallelism

Pattern Selection Guide

πŸ”—

Choose Sequential when:

Each step depends on the previous output, like a production line

⚑

Choose Parallel when:

Tasks are independent and can run simultaneously for speed

πŸ•ΈοΈ

Choose Mesh when:

All perspectives matter and consensus is critical
