Overview โ€“ Agent Design

Core Architecture Questions

  • Single agent or multi-agent?

  • Coordinator or peer-to-peer?

  • Closed-world or open-world reasoning?

  • Human-in-the-loop or fully autonomous?

Design Principles

  • Modularity: Agents can be replaced

  • Observability: Every step is visible

  • Fail-safe: What if agent fails?

Recommended Reading Order

  1. Agent Architectures

  2. Orchestration

  3. Multi-Agent Systems

  4. Agent Mesh
