multi-agent-patterns
Design Reliable Multi-Agent Systems
Complex agent workflows can lose context, diverge, or waste tokens through poor coordination. This skill provides practical architecture patterns, handoff protocols, and failure controls.
Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "multi-agent-patterns" from https://skillstore.io/skills/sickn33-multi-agent-patterns.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/sickn33-multi-agent-patterns/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it
Using "multi-agent-patterns". Design a multi-agent workflow for researching and writing a technical report.
Expected outcome:
- Pattern: supervisor with parallel research workers.
- Roles: source researcher, evidence analyst, fact-checker, and writer.
- Control: validate citations before forwarding verified findings to the writer.
- Termination: stop after coverage and contradiction checks pass.
Using "multi-agent-patterns". Should a customer support router use a swarm or supervisor?
Expected outcome:
Use a supervisor router because request categories are explicit and oversight matters. Add direct specialist responses after validation to preserve detail.
Using "multi-agent-patterns". Review an agent debate that never reaches a decision.
Expected outcome:
- Risk: repeated critique consumes tokens without improving evidence.
- Control: set a round limit and require each critique to add unique evidence.
- Decision: use weighted confidence after the final round, then escalate unresolved conflicts.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Plan a research agent team
Design parallel research, analysis, verification, and writing roles with clear aggregation rules.
Choose an orchestration pattern
Compare centralized supervision, direct handoffs, and layered execution for a planned product workflow.
Review coordination failures
Identify context bottlenecks, divergence risks, and missing validation controls in an existing agent design.
Try These Prompts
Recommend a multi-agent pattern for [task]. Explain why it fits, define each agent, and describe the final result flow.
Design handoffs for [workflow]. Define routing conditions, required state, output validation, fallback behavior, and termination rules.
Compare supervisor, peer-to-peer, and hierarchical designs for [system]. Assess latency, token cost, context isolation, oversight, scalability, and failure propagation.
Review this multi-agent design: [design]. Find bottlenecks, unsafe handoffs, divergence paths, weak consensus, missing observability, and error propagation risks. Propose measurable controls.
Best Practices
- Give each agent a narrow objective, required inputs, output contract, and termination condition.
- Validate outputs before handoff and preserve full responses when supervisor summarization would remove important detail.
- Measure token use, latency, retries, handoff failures, and progress toward shared goals.
Avoid
- Do not create multiple agents when one agent can complete the task within its context.
- Do not let agents hand off work without explicit state, ownership, and convergence rules.
- Do not use simple majority voting when agents have unequal expertise or share the same weak evidence.
