MasterClass: Multi-Agent Design Patterns (Skills, Sub-Agents, HandOff, Router)

Description

Multi-Agent Systems Guide: https://www.langcasts.com/products/digital_downloads/multi-agent-systems-guide Find me here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fikayoadepoju/ While a single agent is powerful, the real magic happens when we break complex problems down into a collaborative ecosystem of specialized intelligences. We begin by breaking down the "Why" behind Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). It’s not just about having more LLMs; it’s about Separation of Concerns. Just as microservices revolutionized software engineering, Multi-Agent architectures are revolutionizing AI by allowing us to build systems that are more reliable, easier to debug, and infinitely more scalable than a single, bloated "do-it-all" prompt. What You will Learn The Fundamentals of Multi-Agent Systems: * Beyond the Single Agent: Understanding why "monolithic" prompts fail at scale and how multi-agent collaboration mimics high-performing human teams. * The Core Pillars: State management, communication protocols, and the crucial distinction between "Shared State" and "Handoffs." The 4 Essential Design Patterns: * Sub-Agents (The Supervisor): Implementing a central authority that delegates tasks to worker agents, reviews their work, and decides when the final objective is met. * Skills (The Toolbelt): How to augment a primary agent with specialized "Skills" (Tool-calling) to interact with the real world—from database queries to API executions. * Handoff (The Relay): Mastering the linear "baton-pass" workflow where a conversation or state is transferred from one specialized agent to another based on the user's changing needs. * Router (The Concierge): Building an intelligent switchboard that classifies incoming requests and instantly dispatches them to the specific expert agent best suited for the job. Architectural Strategy: * Choosing Your Pattern: A framework for deciding which pattern fits your specific use case (e.g., latency-sensitive routing vs. accuracy-driven sub-agent supervision). * Parallelism vs. Sequential Flow: When to let agents run wild in parallel to save time, and when to force a strict, logical sequence. * Human-in-the-Loop: Where to strategically place human checkpoints within these patterns to ensure safety and alignment. By the end of this video, you won’t just know how to build an agent—you’ll know how to architect an AI Organization. Whether you are building in LangGraph, CrewAI, or LangChainGo, these patterns are the blueprint for the next generation of enterprise AI. 🔥 Ready to stop building bots and start building systems?
