Multi-Agent Systems
Build coordinated multi-agent systems for complex tasks.
When to Use This Skill
Invoke this skill when:
- Tasks require multiple specialized agents
- Building orchestrator-worker patterns
- Implementing agent workflows
- Coordinating parallel execution

Quick Start
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, MessagesState
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
# Create specialized agents
researcher = create_react_agent(llm, [web_search])
coder = create_react_agent(llm, [execute_code])
# Build graph
graph = StateGraph(MessagesState)
graph.add_node("researcher", researcher)
graph.add_node("coder", coder)
graph.add_conditional_edges("coordinator", router)

Troubleshooting
| Issue |
Solution |
| Agents not coordinating |
Check message bus |
| Deadlock |
Add timeout, detect cycles |
| Inconsistent results |
Synchronize state |
| High costs |
Use cheaper models for workers |
Best Practices
- One job per agent (single responsibility)
- Orchestrator handles planning only
- Use checkpointing for long workflows
- Implement circuit breakers per agent
